This is
long overdue and I apologize for getting to this sooner but wow, the launch of
the magazine had a few challenges.
The Guideto the World Famous Super Monsters in the first issue of Toy-Ventures does not have an author name attached because like all good projects, it was a collaboration and a product of people being very generous with their time and information.
Corey
LeChat- for just coming in and giving everything such incredible flourish.
Steve
Moore- Steve caught a few things that would haunt me forever.
The Guide would not exist however if I didn't have these incredibly generous men who shared their collections, knowledge, and photographs to create this guide.

And finally Shannon Stewart, who egged me on in February built the FB group to house this project and convinced me to make this happen.
I can't tell you how much this project meant to me and how the energy and support everyone put into it raised my spirits.
You all might collect monsters but you're superheroes to me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
