EREBUS 17 you a favor. Shaw can generally be depended on for something good. Shaw's a humorous fellow. I like Shaw. Perhaps Shaw likes me. We will have to meet each other some day. THE STF DOGHOUSE is nothinf uproariously funny, just funny. I laughed sometimes - which is unusual. Give Shaw an eight plus. Good old Fassbeinder. Good old Yerke. Good old Lothar. And on into the night. Anyway, I chuckled with Yerke --pardon, Fassbeinder -- over NEVeR HAVING MET CUTHBERT, Fassbeinder's a happy fellow. Always jovial -- except when Degler-Rogers enters the picture. Then watch the fur fly. Give Lothar -- Fassbeinder-- a solid eight. Washington next. Raym is good this trip, enjoyable. Not the mediocre attempts at humor which are apparent in his previous stuff. I may eventually begin to like Raym, as I do Shaw and Yerke. Not that I'm complimenting Raym when I say I'm beginning to like him -- damn me, no! But FANTASTIC ADVENTURES is good, and I'll admit it. Give Raym an eight minus. The reader's colum was alrigth. Nothing exceptional, just good reading. I agree with Larry and Marian on confining the color of your type to black. Please note KALEIDOSCOPE -- a blatant red. Yoiks! This page veritably leaped out of the magazine into your face when you opened the magazine. Please -- never again. Laney is right about your sister pubs. My god, man, if you haven't the slightest idea where your material is coming fr[o]m for EREBUS, I frankly can't see how you figure on two or three magazines. Oh well, maybe I'm old fashioned. Reader's column rate's an eight. And now I'll sharpenb my axe for the kill. Your format and typography are pretty damn bad, to say the least. whover sets -- dummies -- your pages should be taken out and shot at sunrise nine times. The balance is ghastly, no less. FRANK WILIMCZYK, JR. 3 Lewis Street Westfield, Mass. Cover was excellent -- I hadn't expected so professional - lookig a job. Editorial, as always, is interesting, as is exceptionally well-written. Didn't care for The Devil You Say very much, tho there was actually nothing wrong with it. It is just fair; nothing more, nothing less. Larry's column swell this issue. I like the informal sort of way he just rambles along. Larry's mention of finding a couple of Hubert Roger's pics in a sea story interested me particularly, because I am constantly amazed at the way in which stf illustrators pop up illustrating certain stuff, and vice versa. Like Hubert Rogers. I first came across him on the cover of one of Street and Smith's detective magazines. I was intrigued, and would watch carefully for the next one. Then HR pops up illustrating ASTOUNDING and UNKNOWN. I was pleased. The same is true of Edd Cartier. It was when I was in the "SHADOW addict" stage that I first came across the old master. Again, I was pleasantly surprised to see Cartier switched over almost entirely to illustrating UNKNOWN. And quite recently I was surprised to find a cartoon by Magarian in Esquire! Gad! Never Having Met Cuthbert was a riot! One of the best things in this issue, in fact. I don't care for most of Yerke's humor as a rule, but this I liked. Fantastic Adventures okay, tho rather incongruous and untimely in places. The Devil You Say is interesting except for my own letter. You never realize what poor letters you write untill they're printed, do I? And I retract that statement, as I said before, about change in size. If you keep improving at the rate you have since the first issue, you'll have one of the top few fanzines being published.
