FAN................................................................................17 The second and final issue was published in the very small size 3" x 3 1/2." Kirby soon discovered the folly of a printed fan magazine. UNIQUE: A group of hitherto inactive fans, headed by Russell Leadabrand, of California, brought forth a printed magazine, called UNIQUE TALES. The first issue was dated June 1937 and consisted almost entirely of fiction -- it con-tained eighteen small printed pages. Six months later the second appeared, consisting of thirty pages. The final issue appeared several months later, and was the best of the three, con-taining almost forty pages, with some excellent amateur fiction. THE PHANTAGRAPH: Originally a hectographed bulletin of an organization called The Terrestrial Fantascience Guild, this magazine blossomed forth with a printed issue in July 1938. Donald A. Wollheir supplanted the former editor. Quite a few issues of this magazine appeared before its inevitable failure became fact. Many of the last issues were small, four-page affairs, costing Wollheim $5.00 per issue. Wollheim often claimed he didn't mind losing the $5.00, but despite this, he finally discontinued the magazine. Robert W. Lowndes bringing out one small issue after Wollheim gave it up. SCIENCE FICTION NEWS: After publishing numerous issues of this journal in carbon-copy form for the Oklahoma Scientifiction Association Daniel McPhail, surprised everyone by publishing the first of three printed issues in October 1936. It was a neatly printed journal, but after McPhail lost access to a friend's printing equipment, it was impossible for the magazine to continue.
