On reading in FFF that Crain had turned CT to someone else, Giunta has demanded the return of COSMIC TALES and states that he will continue the magazine as a de-luxe fan mag, semi-printed co-editing and co-owner with Taurasi, who originated the magazine in 1937. LOVECRAFT, MOSKOWITZ and GARDNER yarns will be featured. It will be a COMETEER fan mag. FANTASY FICTION FIELD NEWS WEEKLY covers the entire Pro & Fan Field.
