I thought I'd have some fun with photos of some of the main players of G-FAN magazine.
The first, obviously, is J. D. Lees. He's the founder, publisher and editor of G-FAN. He is also the founder and head of the annual G-FEST conventions held in Chicago, Illinois. He also led 60 G-fans to Japan in 2004 during G-TOUR. G-FAN was named in the Chicago Tribune's "Our Fifty Favorite Magazines" list last year.
Next is Peter H. Brothers. Pete has completed his biography on Toho Co. director Ishiro Honda. He is currently in discussions with several interested book publishers.
Next, we have Brett Homenick. He currently supplies G-FAN with many interviews with actors, directors, writers and others connected with kaiju movies over the last 55 years. He also organizes the programming for the annual G-FEST conventions and leads the convention interview panels. Due to his interview activities, that's why I called him "The Griller."
Here we have David McRobie. His contribution is "The Globe Meter" column. His online handle is "Xenorama."
Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, August Ragone's encyclopedia mind greatly added to the G-FEST XV sessions with Haruo Nakajima and on Eiji Tsuburaya. Last year, he penned a moving tribute to the late Jerry Ito in G-FAN. His recent book, "Eiji Tsuburaya, Master of Monsters" was a hit with the fans and critics.
