FANTASY NEWS Page Five ______________________________ FANTASTIC ADVENTURES RESUMES PUBLICATION! 'AMAZING WILL NEVER FOLD' - PALMER In a special statement issued recently, Ray Palmer, Editor of ZIFF-DAVIS’ AMAZING STORIES and FANTASTIC ADVENTURES said that although FA had been on the suspended list for 30 days, it will again appear. The next issue, dated Jan, is slated to hit the stands on Nov 20. Palmer also stated that AMAZING STORIES we’ll never be discontinued. FANTADVENT will have the same format as before, and will appear by-monthly as previously announced. The feature yarn is David Wright O’Brien’s “The Floating Robot”, which cops a McCauley cover. Coming in the May issue is Eando Binder’s “The Shadow of Dragons”. AMAZING QUARTERLY will appear regularly as it was very popular, Palmer states. It will have the same format as the first, namely three returned issues bound together under a new cover. This plan enables ZIFF-DAVIS to get rid of unsold copies returned by news dealers, which, prior to the war had been exported and sold in England as remainders. Palmer made it known that the Quarterly is intended to reach new readers, to whom it will not appear as three back numbers rebound in a new jacket. The price will be maintained at 25¢. ------------------------------------------------ MERRITT YARN BROADCAST RECORDED The recent broadcast of A. Merritt’s “Three Lines Of Old French” in script form over Station WKY, Oklahoma City, was so successful that a recording was made of it. Mr. George Hamaker of the same city has a limited number of these records which he is selling for $2.50, JULES VERNE MAG MAY APPEAR _____________________________ New York members of a national Jules Verne Club may soon come out with a pro stf mag dedicated solely to the stories of Jules Verne. They plan to reprint only those yarns of the French master which have so far not been translated into English. The mag, if it appears, will be handled by the members of the staff of two of our most successful comic mags. ------------------------------------------------- TAURASI DRAFTED!!! ___________________ Probably the first active science fiction fan to be called to the colors James V. Taurasi. He received his draft questionaire on Thursday, November 14. It conscripted, Taurasi will spend all of his spare time writing stf and drawing illustrations for the pro mags. His literary agency will probably be taken over by Sam Moskowitz, who is below draft age. Taurasi’s greatest achievements in the stfan field have been the founding of the Flushing Science League (the fore-runner of the large and influential Queen’s SFL) and the establishment of FANTASY NEWS as a science fiction weekly newspaper in 1938. Mr. Taurasi’s associates on the staff of this newspaper wish him the very best of luck. ----------------------------------------------- MERRITT BROADCAST Cont’d: each. FAMOUS FANTASTIC MYSTERIES was mentioned several times during the broadcast, and Miss Mary Gnaedinger Editor of FFN received a telegram regarding it. _____________________________ GET A PRESS CARD!
