I had this issue also - my brothers were at the corner coffee shop and ran home to tell me that Barnabas was on the cover of a magazine - well, I had to run down there and buy it immediately, and I had the magazine all these years until we lost so much in one of our NJ floods, I was heartbroken to lose this particular one, the first Afternoon TV magazine, and with Jonathan Frid on the cover! Have to laugh looking back now, things were so different then, so slow - now everything is instantly on the internet!
My mother used to get Modern Screen and Photoplay magazines, to see what the stars were up to - and all those mags only came out ONCE A MONTH! Richard Burton and Liz Taylor dominated the covers!! And everybody wrote LETTERS and mailed them! LOLOL
