Harold Shea, popular fantasy
hero, created by L. Sprague de.Camp and Fletcher Pratt, was subjected in the August UNKNOWN to an assault
with intent to kill by L. Ron
("Golden Egg") Hubbard, author of the lead novel, "The Case Of the Friendly Corpse".   The red-haired adventurer-author caused his competitor's character to be seized and
swallowed by a gigantic snake into which a magic wand carried by one of his minor characters turned.
     Shea's creators, however, with fiendish snickers, have announced that they ate taking suitable steps to rehabilitate their hero, and obtain revenge for this bit of outrageous literary impertinence, They are working on a story which will tell what r̲e̲a̲l̲l̲y̲ happened to
Shea in the College of the Unholy Names, site of the crime. (This institution is headed by the President J. Klark, believed to be the
astral body of Dr. John D. Clark, well-known Philadelphia fan.)
     "Just wait", sneered Pratt,
"till you see what we do to Hubbard's characters!"   They explained that, as the explorer and bear-tamer is now Lieut. Hubbard, USN, he probably would not have time to reply in his turn. 
     "You see", leered de Camp,
"we're altruists. That means we believe in doing unto others what they would like to do unto us, and doing it first!"
