When Did WENDAYNE ACKERMAN pass away?
I am wondering, When did Forry Ackerman's wife WENDAYNE pass away? I met her back in 1980 and she was a very kind lady. When I visited Forry in 1995, I found out that his wife passed away years...

I like Sixties Italian space operas, so there was a part of me that really wanted to see this. (But then I'd flash back to the books.) Maybe if it ever comes to DVD one day....

I have MISSION STARDUST on VHS, and watch it about every other year. Cheap, silly and fun. I love the theme music!

I enjoyed reading the early Perry Rhodan Ace paperbacks as they first came out, and was delighted when MISSION STARDUST played on local tv around the same time. And doubly delighted to find that the...

Interesting thread, this. A few years after I'd stopped working in the Ackermansion and been dragged back to the Bay Area by my loathsome parental unit, sometime between 1966 and 1968 (best as I can...

Interesting that Wendy was around when you were there, which was before I was. Because when I arrived, she was simply >never< around the Ackermansion at all, nor ever referred to. It wasn't for...

I wish I had been able to meet the both of them. I am envious of those of you that were able to meet FJA and his bride. Treasure those memories guys.

I'd been doing assignments for Forry sporadically since June 1963, "telecommuting" by snail-mail, so when asked to, I relocated to LA and clocked in at the Ackermansion every day, for a full day's...

Since you're Forry's best-known "monster kid," I don't think so. I think that would be Joe Moe, who's also the best assistant Forry ever had, and the longest lasting one, too. The rest of us--you, me,...

Let's hear it for Joe Moe. Hopefully Joe Moe's 15 were the equivalent of our 3 years in Slo Mo or he's a sizzling crisp by now. (It wasn't all fun back then, even if it sounds like it -- as each issue...
