That would have been very cool, indeed.
I remember when “fans” would supposedly dump on him for coining “sci-fi” and the ubernerds thought it unserious and wanted the genre to be called “scientifiction” or something like that.

He was a big influence on my childhood and a mentor via his pages for my punning.

cheers
Jim

Wow, I still have some Famous Monsters of Filmland mags and some rarer ones like Monster Mania and Castle of Frankentein.

I saw Christopher Lee guest star in an Avengers (Diana Rigg era) episode and he even made that into an impact part.
