LAVAGNINI Ceol aT Tag AUGH GALLAGHER ‘Yeah, 1 know, But as they Argh! it’s late y, ‘better late than never!” First item I'd like to discuss is the recent retirement of reign- ing B-movie queen MICHELLE — BAUER Michelle made her fi- nal appearance at the Chiller convention last April to a hoard of adoring fans, Both Michael Shuter and I attempted to talk to her about her retire- ment, actually one question “why?”.,.. but we quickly changed the subject when she became very choked up when talking about it I would like to point out the falsehood of all the vicious rumors that started when her retirement was first announced - there is no scandal or vicious husband involved with her decision... it was simply her decision. She felt she had to decide where she needed to devote her attention, her career or her family. Obvi- ously, she chose her family... a choosing of her own free will and not coerced by any other individuals. The hardest part of her decision was saying good-bye to her fans, all of which she had a sincere admiration for and couldn't speak highly enough of. Michelle was definitely one of a kind in the B-movie industry. Beyond being a very attrac- tive woman, she was exceedingly nice to people and didn’t take her career too seriously = didn’t develop that ‘star’ attitude, Where mos would think this would destroy one’s career, Michelle worked more in the industry than most, and it was impossible to find anyone to, say a bad thing about her. She had fun, did her job, and proved that she could not only look 2 good on the screen (and even better in person, if that’s pos- sible), but was a excel- lent actress aswell She will truly be ssed in the industry and we wish her noth- ing but the best in the years to come. rt rm completely wasted here - too much going on and Pm way behind. If you haven't noticed, we added all glossy pages to this issue. It was an expensive en- deavor which really didn't have the back- ing, but I got a wild hair up my ass and did it anyway! As we struggle to get caught back up on this hectic publishing schedule, I'd like to thank ev- eryone that has bared with us. Everything will come out, maybe a little later than expected, but nonetheless, it will come out! ‘The MELISSA MOORE: BODYGUARD comic, was delayed due to the original art be- ing lost! It took a wrong turn at the post office | somewhere and had to be completely redrawn | utilizing some photo copies of some of the pencils, This was the first of several delays and the domino effect took it’s toll on all the DRACULINA publications. But, fear not, things are on the mend and we expect to be back in groove very soon. Drop me a line as to what you think of this issue of DRACULINA. We seem to get more sexier with each issue, what's the verdict - more? Less? At any rate, we hope you enjoy this issue and in #24 1 might actually have some- thing to talk about... now, I just don’t have any time Dear Hugh, 1 just picked up issue and [think it is awesome. 1 read just about every B-movie magazine around and | feel your magazine is #1. 1 love Ws color pictures and the ex cellent covers 1 really look forward to Fred Olen Ray's letters. in your “Bloody Box" section.

Any criticism of her Interviews 1 think should go to the interviewer for asking the same old standard ques tons that everyone alw asks. I have to confess that { did think the interview in DRACULINA #19 fell into that category. Somy, but 1 gota be honest Not t0 do that gossip mill routine but was that guy who wrote the letter about Linnes in DRACULINA #22 really her fiance? 1 didn't even know that she and Steve J. hud spli up.

My best friend, who Tl as Miss X' co maintain her anonymity, considers it the pinnacle of fame for me to have a letter printed in DRACULINA.
