FANFARE                             23
[centered] LOOKING OVER THE FANMAGS

DETOURS--#4 just came in, and the boy really has something. Hektoed in SEVEN different colors! I can't say just what's in it, as it's like no other fanmag. It has a real individuality and personality, and is just the thing for advanced dopes that are up to the stage of wishing to learn something.
MERCURY--#6. See JJFortier, 1836-39th Ave., Oakland, Calif. The editors describe it with the sper-ak STFANEWSHEETRI-WEEKLY, which is as complete a description as I could give in five lines. If you would like to be a dope all your life, don't get it, because it has all the news of the extractive Pacificoastfans.
LE ZOMBIE--#31. There's not much sense in reviewing this "ghouls ghazette", perpetrated monthly by Bob Tucker, Bx 260, Bloomington, Ill, as everybody who is anybody reads it. So if you're a nobody, here's your chance to step up to the "existence" class. Thank Foo, I'm all done.

FANTASY NEWS--I sure am a dope to forget this one. This is without a doubt the leading newstfanmag, in fact, the only one. This by no means indicates that it leads because of that, but probably is the only one in the field because other weeklies didn't have the resources it has. It's printed, and it's two pages contain as much material as four mimeod pages. 3 issues for 10c, 30 for $1, or 52 (1 year) for $1.50. The address is: William S. Sykora, 12 Bee St., Valley Stream, New York...
