NEW FANDOM Page Thirteen AD ASTRA, Mark Reinsberg, 3156 Cambridge Ave., Chicago, Ill., 10 cts 25 large mimeographed pages. November, 1939 This is one of the better fan magazines being published today. Among its many fine features is a printed frontpiece by Krupa; a positively damning attitude on "cutting" by E.E. Smith; a poor aticle by Cambell, and material of merit by Robert A. Madle, Leslie A. Croutch and others. An excellent readers department here. SPACEWAYS, Harry Warner, 303 Bryan Place, Hagerstown, Maryland, 10 cents, 25 large mimeod pages, November, 1939 This issue is a considerable drop in standard. Taurasi has a cover thats quite good, symbolic of Weinbaum. Leslie A. Croutch's short story "The Wax Doll" is the most entertaining feature of the nimber. The feature article by Georges A. Gallet is unspeakably dry; Dale Hart fails to be interesting; William Veney has an interesting though incomplete article on the Australian Stf.Fans. The poetry is above fan mag average whereas some of the departments rank from criminally poor to exceedingly good. FANTASY DIGEST, Ted Dikty, 3136 Smith St., Fort Wayne, Ind., 10 cts., 24 large mimeod pages., Aug.-Sept., 1939 issue. This is easily the best issue to date in everything except the odiferous cover, and poor mimeoing in spots. Shroyer asks "What Is A Fan?". Moskowitz indulges in a little well-directed satire; Sullivan has "Convention Scenes; Harry Warner, Erle Korshak & Larry Farsaci intrigueing "visit" accounts; Kuttners satire is quite good as is most of the material. Includ this on your list of fan mags. SCIENTI-SNAPS: Walter Earl Marconette, 2709 E. Second St., Dayton, O. (note change in address please), 14 mimeod pages, 10 cents Oct. '39 Has added a capable fan, J. Chapman Miske as associate editor Feature of latest number is the first part of "A. Merrit ----His Life And Works" by Merrit & Miske. Charles Tanner, has a humorous poem "Chant of the Scientifiction Author." We wonder why Lowndes article which hardly even mentions the word science fiction, yet discusses it is included? Other material of v rying quality by Harry Warner, Richard Wilson & Colburne Jones. FAN MAGS STILL BEING PUBLISHED--The Fantaseer, Le Zombie, Fantasy Fictioneer, PSFS News, Voice of Imagi-Nation, Futuria Fantasia, Escape, The Satellite, Postal Preview, Fan Facts, Science Fiction Fan, Fu turian, Polaris, Science Fiction Progress, Ultra, Vadjong, Mikros, Golden Atom, Van Houten Says, Fantasmagoria, Sweetness &Light.
