PUBLICATIONS
The Irwin Allen productions have featured widely in the written media over the years, particularly in the 1960s and with the revival of the science fiction television shows from the late 1980s onwards. We have collected many books, magazines, and articles during the course of our research and as we find them, we will give them a mention in the galleries shown below so that visitors can seek out copies that might interest them.
If you have written or published an article or book on the Irwin Allen shows, movies, stars, or crew and would like to let Irwin Allen fans know about these publications, please email us full details (especially issue numbers, dates of publication and article titles) with some scans or snapshots showing the publication cover and look of the article and we will try and feature as many as possible in the magazine gallery and book gallery.
