Molesworth, and Harry Jenkins. Britishers Clarke, Carnell, Webster, McIlwain, and Williams teamed up to make the second issue. Neither sheet contains much of interest today, though the green ink and the scattered litho bits (per Associated Services) carry a certain nostalgia. Tom Wright's Comet is the next entry. Its six pages are neatly mimeographed in a brown ink which is very appropriate for a rather ghastly amateur stef story and some putrid illustrations. The special issue is not indicative of Comet, which was once of the better fanzines of its day. An early bit of Bronsonia is The Denventioneer Fantasite, w hich carries an advertisement for the #1 Fantasite, and apparently antedates it. It is a single sheeter devoted largely to neatly hektoed news notes. Only note of interest today is an announcement of the formation (on November 29, 1940) of the Minneapolis Fantasy Society. The charter members were Cliff Simak, Carl Jacobi, Ollie Saari, John Chapman, Sam Russell, Doug Blakely, and Phil Bronson. The fabulous T. Bruce Yerke is represented by a pair of single-sheet Damn Things, neither of which is representative. "Life in Shangri-La" admits it is composed on the stencil, and shows it anyway. It's a fairish description of the LASFS along about March, 1941. The other issue contains a rollicking take-off on the now long-forgotten Pro-Scientists movement, which as a cause celebre was the Cosmic Circle of its day.
