LADIES, GENTLEMEN...And FANS: Enter, D'JOURNAL, presenting on its dozen stages the first Edition of the Fantasy Follies. Something just a bit different than has ever been presented in fandom before. Special event have produced so-called "comic" magazines, but we believe nothing quite like this D'JOURNAL. And right off the bat we must apologize for not being able to present two features we had advertised; altho we hope we do not have to do such a thing as often as some professional mags have. We cannot give, this issue, "THE $50.000 CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION INTO MARVEL TALES!" and McPhails "DEFEAT OF THE 1st MARTIAN INVASION OF OKLAHOMA" as promised, because: McPhail didnt get his material in in time, and MARVEL TALES failed (to date) to OK a copy of that story, which we sent them for their perusal. If they come thru, it will be in the second issue. If MARVEL fails to OK the yarn, were afraid you will never see it. Its of the type we dont like to print unless they dont mind. ADVERTISEMENT are not in D'JOURNAL. Free copies of the SCIENCE AND FANTASY ADVERTISER are mailed with each D'JOURNAL, thus making advertising in our pages useless. WITH THIS ISSUE is a vote coupon. Please vote for the best author, not your relative, or friend. we will let you know the next issue who got the buck. CONTRIBUTATIONS of the nature published herein, are invited. SPACE SHIPS OF THE FUTURE 1. "The two-man fighting scout. *LEGEND* A: Headlight: for searching the depths of space. B: Pilots cabin: for controlling things.
