  1. Return to Form: Issues 140–150 focused heavily on chibi (cute) styles and mascot characters. No.155 returns to the "gritty" aesthetic—heavily textured sculpts and dark, apocalyptic themes that defined the magazine’s early cult following.
  2. The Holographic Foil Cover: For the first time in the magazine's history, the binding is secured with a holographic foil stamp. This not only looks premium but also acts as an anti-counterfeiting measure, a problem that plagued No.148.
  3. Included Art Print: Subscribers through the official Mondo64 web store received an A3 silkscreen print of the kaiju’s design blueprints, signed by the sculptor.

The Struggle for Rights

But '64 was not just about music and fashion. It was a year marked by significant social change. The Civil Rights Act, passed in July, was a landmark moment in the struggle for racial equality in the United States. The event was a testament to the power of nonviolent resistance and the determination of those fighting for their rights. Marches, protests, and sit-ins were becoming more common, reflecting a growing desire for social justice.
