Material by the older fans is certainly of value, but new blood is also essential.The older ones seem to be resting on their laurels anyway, so it is the new crop of fans-to-be whom we are looking to for assistance.

we detest      Much good material has been 
censorship    passed by, we imagine, because some editors are literally all sweetness and light are afraid to print material because it might hurt the feelings of some fool who needs a good kick where it will do the most good. Or the item m i g h t contain some even-so-naughty words that everyone knows aren't nice. We do not feel that way and are proving it with the appearance of one of the two short stories next issue; either The Pink Slippers or Judgement. We know neither one of them are smutty, but always know Mama Daugherty (no personal offense, Walt) and others will find them as good a reason as any for boycotting our magazine. Not wanting to start an entirely unnecessary feud, we might pass up these two gems and publish some sweet and conventional and equally stupid substitute,instead.Those who will not like either of them, we say you have a right to your opinion. But to those who are going to howl loudly and call them obscene, we offer you-- a hearty rasberry.

a call for    - Good artists seem to be at a 
illustrators   premium, nowadays, and as a result  o u r  cover schedule is a bit haphazard. Interiors can always be dragged from somewhere, but those covers have become a problem. Rising young artist are therefore welcomed here, if their work meets our standards.

If by any chance they don't, we will do our best to help the artist, either with criticism or by directing him o r her to some magazine that might be able to use the drawings submitted to us.

o u r        After three months of continual cover     prodding,coaxing, a n d casting threats, Bill Watson finally consented to do us a cover. We think it's a beautiful job, and are only sorry we can't have the original. 

A drawing that beholds two men, one smiling and looking content while the other looks concerned and as if he is asking a question to the other man. The man who is smiling is standing next to a machine and or missile and smoke is coming out. There is a city in the background and a moon/planet that is chipped off and broken off in the distant and underneath the picture it states "But you aimed at Mars."
