page 11. ULTIMA FANTASTICA EDITOR'S NOTE: We readers, collectors, and fans of fantasy, fancy ourselves fairly conversant with our favorite field of literature. Many of us doubtless suspect we might be considered authorities on the subject. Yet we go our smug way, entirely oblivious of far greater fantasies than any we know. How many of us ever paused to consider that there might be fantasies written, and being written, which are so utterly fantastic that, in comparison, our familiar fare fades into insignificance?

So to fulfill this mission he developed the most far-reaching program ever offered to the human race. It is a program based entirely upon provable Natural Laws. "God now decrees that a new species be started by the most unselfish people of the world and be built up from generation to generation until a super race is bred upon Earth that will extirpate selfish gold-worshipping tactics from the face of the Earth. ((Sound at all familiar?)) "We are especially interested in building up the characters of children who have not yet acquired the bad habits of the older folks so that they may grow up clean and capable of building at the foundation of a new great race upon Earth that we are aiming at.
