The database is missing issues #72 to #79.
Also the details for issue #71 are incorrect (Published / Comic Age / Cover Price), but I do not have the specifics handy.

you need to do some historical research first. You don't really think CPG would be missing those issues after decades, do you? There ARE no issues of 72-79, they stopped it and went with Monster World for 10 issues, then back to FM.
From the wikipedia article, which may not be 100% correct on all things: "Warren and Ackerman created a jump in issue numbering from issue 69 (me here--this looks to be wrong tho, as mycomicshop has #70 with a pic and date of 1970), which was printed in September 1970, to issue 80 in October 1970. They did this (according to the editorial in issue 80) because it brought them closer to issue 100, justifying the numerical jump because of the publishing of ten issues of the short-lived companion magazine Monster World as issues that "would have been" Famous Monsters issue.....Famous Monsters of Filmland was resurrected in 1993....Starting at issue #200....In late 2007, Philip Kim...purchased the rights to the logo and title, entering into an agreement with Ackerman to use his trademarks to retain the magazine’s original look and feel....The revival of the classic horror magazine came in July 2010, with the publication of Famous Monsters of Filmland #251.."
Issue #71 was done in 2011 and apparently was the only issue they tried using the old numbering with, cover price is 8.99, and that makes it modern age, so CPG is correct. mycomicshop lists it the same way. This is another series that CPG needs to put a notation on #71 and #80.
The more you knoooooowwwww.
