SCARY MONSTERS MAGAZINE #87

DENNIS DRUKTENIS PUBLISHING
If you're from Chicago you know the name "Svengoolie". At the store we have been teasing "BERWYN IS COMING TO MT.GREENWOOD" for a month now and it is all coming to a head very soon (possibly sooner than you think). Part of this store event is Scary Monsters #87 which is our BOOK OF THE WEEK. Inside this ALL SVEN issue (heralding the "Great Ones" return to TV) you'll find article after article on Sven, his show and some guy named RIch Koz (eh!)  Some  of the Sventastic articles that appear are "Summer of Svengoolie", "Celebrating the Halloween Season, Svengoolie-Style" and "They Call Me DaddyGoolie" by the store's own Brian Bernardoni, quite possibly the world's biggest Sven fan. So celebrate the last man standing in original Chicago entertainment television this week!
