THE NYCON REVIEW DESERVES YOUR SUPPORT FANTASY FICTION FIELD 5¢ - Illustrated News Weekly - Vol 3 #19 FFF COVERS THE ENTIRE FIELD ************ December 6, 1941 - - THE NATIONAL FANTASY NEWS REVIEW - - Whole Number 60 ************ WATCH FFF FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT SOON! KUBILIUS, GILBERT, WILSON IN NEW MARCH 1942 ASTONISHING ! The Wesso cover on the new March Astonishing, alas, does not illustrate any story; editor Norton ordered one, but the author in question was unable to get it done in time. Everyone around Astonishing's office feels pretty low about it, because, as you can see, it's a nifty cover -- but it couldn't be helped this time. Here's the lineup on the March issue. Neil R. Jones' latest Professor Jameson story is entitled "Slaves of the Unknown", while James MacCreigh has "Daughters of Eternity". Lyle Monore contributes "Pied Piper", a new writer, Joseph C, Shook has "The Band Played On", and Ray Cummings has "The Shadow People." Best news for fans is the following -- Walter Kubilius has "Voice in the Void", Joe Gilbert has "The Man who Knew Roger Stanley", and Dick Wilson contributes "The Message" for this issue. There are three departments: Viewpoints (whether or not this will be the letter department, or will be fan stuff as last issue, our reporter did not mention), and a couple of new features: Fantasy Circle and Fan Mags. All in all, it looks as if Astonishing is starting the new year right! ------------------ bad news FAN-ATIC FOLDS A card from Chas. Beling to FFF reads:- "Fan-Atic has ceased publication. Plans. for a super-large final issue have been dropped. All money for ads and subs will be returned during my Xmas vacation. "I don't have time for both by college, and fmz activities, so have to drop the latter. "I have quite a few mss. on hand, andif any fan editor can convince me that he really needs stuff, I'll send him some. Most of them are quite good. Sincerely, CAB" ------------------- PLANET STORIES to REVISE COVER A visit to the office of Planet Stories recently revealed that editor Reiss has at last acceeded to popular request and has re-designed the title-layout of Planet. No more hurtling moons of glerp in the title: just the letters, Planet Stories, neatly done. We also saw the cover for issue number ten, and it's snazz. If you keep an eye on FFF, you'll see a foto of it one of these days. --------------- Were you a paid subscriber, there would be a foto here. -------------- Astonishing Stories for March 1942 ************ fff's SPOTLITE A recent note from Charles R. Tanner, author of "Tumithak" indicates that he's recovering rapidly. He's put on about twenty pounds, he says, and none of his friends would recognize him now. ... Doc Lowndes has a lead novelette in the coming, January 1942, issue of Canada's Uncanny Tales; it's a thriller called "Lure of the Lily". In the current, December issue appears, among others, a reprint of C. V. Tench's "Compensation", which tale first appeared in the Jan '30 Astounding.
