FANGORIA #310 doesn’t hit the shelves or arrive in your mailbox till next month, but we’ve got the first peek at the covers and the full contents to share with you now! Yes, once more we’ve got back-cover art, and this one’s pretty special: an exclusive painting by legendary artist Basil Gogos of Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider, specially commissioned by the actor and never before seen outside his home until now. Cage as Blaze is our front-cover boy as well, from the upcoming GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE.

It’s all to celebrate this issue’s first installment of an exclusive, extensive two-part interview with Cage, talking GHOST RIDER, his love of horror, his past genre credits and more. This unique conversation is just part of #310’s scary-good lineup, which also includes an exclusive talk with actor Daniel Radcliffe on THE WOMAN IN BLACK, words with RE-ANIMATOR’s Barbara Crampton on her fright flicks past and present, previews of THE GREY, UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING, THE DIVIDE and KILL LIST and much more. Head down past the covers for the full details!
