Film Threat Covers by Glenn Barr


Film Threat was underground film magazine started by Chris Gore in the 1980's. Early issues of the magazine often featured covers by then up-and-coming Detroit artist Glenn Barr. Here's a selection of Glenn's covers for the magazine. Issue #13 featured both front and back covers, with separate covers that provided a flip book effect when flipped back and forth.




Film Threat #10, 1986.










Film Threat #13, 1987.




Film Threat #15, 1988.




Film Threat #17, 1988.




Film Threat #21, 1989.




Shameless Promotion Dept: I'm selling these and more issues of Film Threat on Ebay.

Comics and Concerts

Here is a selection of concert flyers and comic store ads from the Detroit area collected in the mid-1980's to 1990's. Since they have monster movie themes or cool art, I decided they are appropriate here.
