THE FAN PUBS LE ZOMBIE: Price 3 for 10c; Issued- biweeky; Address- Box 260 Bloomington, Illinois; Le Zombie is the best small publication there is to be had. It contains humor, and how!

Edited by fantasy's famous fan, Bob Tucker. Rating - 90 comets. THE SCIENTIFAN: Price - 15c; issued- monthly; Address- 1836 - 39th Ave. Oakland, Calif. The largest fan pub out. And every inch crammed full of the best material possible. The second issue will be the best one out, and it's really good. Cover by Julian S. Krupa, and an excellent story (feature length), Horror's Cellar by Harry Warner, Jr. The best article to date by Doc Lowndes. Yogi in another screwy theory. And a special supplement, MERCURY, free to all subscribers. Cover by Tom Wright. FUTURISTIKARS, MEET THE AUTHORS, LETTERS, a POLL, and dozens of other features. Not so good mimeo. J.J.
