Issue 150: The Amicus Special
This extra special issue of The Dark Side celebrates the work of Amicus Studios, a very British company founded by two Americans. Max J. Rosenberg was the money man who mainly stayed in the States, while Milton Subotsky was the creative partner who ran the UK operation from what affable director Norman J. Warren recently described to me as a portakabin in the car park of Shepperton Studios.
