Uncle Bob Martin's Medical Fund
Donation protected
Uncle Bob Martin was an amazing writer and editor in the early days of Fangoria magazine. He brought so much fun to the magazine and created a wide ranging family when he made all of his fans his nieces and nephews. After leaving Fangoria Bob has had some health setbacks. A stroke disabled him, and he is now back in the hospital with no insurance to cover the medical bills. We're hoping to raise enough money to cover his stay in the hospital. Fellow nephew Mike Hunchback wrote: "Robert "UncleBob" Martin was Fangoria Magazine's original mastermind. I have so long believed that Bob's writing and work as an editor is one of the few cases that belongs alongside mavericks like Bill Gaines and Harvey Kurtzman. What we horror fanatics take for granted today was painstakingly forged out of iron during the heyday of The Religious Right banning films and Siskel and Ebert spewing their bile.
Bob stood up to all of that, and with the written word proved that "NO. We're not psychopaths. We're having fun, and these films, this culture, is legitimate and WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY."
If you're my facebook friend, there's a great chance you owe a debt to UncleBob Martin. Time to pay up kids. EVERY little bit helps."
