WEIRD TALES ON THE UPGRADE

Followers of the "Unique Magazine", Weird Tales, will be happy to hear that the senior imaginative fiction pulp is surging ahead, circulation reports showin g virtually a 100% increase since the editorial shift of last year. They're beginning to toy around with the idea of a Weird Tales Quarterly at the editorial offices -- don't get excited, now. There's positively nothing definite, and its very likely that even tentative plans haven't been drawn up, but the fact that they are permitting the thoughts to flow through their minds indicates that it isn't entirely hopeless. FFF will be the first news-weekly to imform you if and when anything definite breaks -- until then, file the subject away in your hope chest, and let it ripen.

Here's the lineup on the July, 41, Weird. Cover is from Roy Cummings' "The Robot God", and is drawn by bok. As for the little box with the words "I Killed Hitler", no the robot isn't saying that -- that's the title of a story by Ralph Milne Farley, and it's illustrated by DC Burford. There's another novelette, by Seabury Quinn, called "Song Without Words" -- Formon has done the drawing for that one. Brundege illustrates Clark Ashton Smith's "The Enchantress of Sylaire" and has done a really spiffy job of it; also illustrated by Fermon in this issue are "First Night", a humorous tale by Mindret Lord, "The Believers", by Robert Arthur, and the final installment of the serial, "The Case of Charlos Dexter Ward", by H. P. Lovecraft. Brundago also draws for Manly Wado Wellmans yarn, "It All Came True in the Woods".

There's vers by Donis Plimmer, Gerald Chen Sieg, and Irwin J. Weill's forturo, Superstitions and Taboos, and finally the Evric and WEIRD TALES CLUB -- we understand that the latter is growing along very nicely these days -- take a look at the growing membership list for verification of that.

To report a statement we made in SFT a year ago -- Watch Weird Tales!
