Phanteur (Formerly Phanny) Whole Number 1. January 1946 Well, here we are again. We could say that the long delay etc. etc. etc. has been due to the difficulties involved in putting out a brand new fanzine. We could, but we won't, because you wouldn't believe us, anyway, and there is no point in telling a lie that no one believes. The actual reasons for the hiatus in publication schedule (since when did we have a schedule?) are numerous and various, but nearly all are tied in in some way with the sudden end of the war in Europe, and the subsequent atomic bombing and surrender of Japan. The change in name is not a sudden thing; we've been considering some such change for well over a year, but couldn't think of a satisfactory name. The first name that seems to be suitable, at which, so far as we knew, had not been used previously, was the one which almost got used; Phantaseur. From that, it was easy to evolve to Panteur. The first, we thought of as sort of Ackermanic telescoping of phantasy connoisseur. The name finally adopted, we think of as a telescoped form of phantasy amateur. It is a more fitting title; our claim to an amateur standing is certainly beyond question; the same could hardly e said for our standing as a connoisseur. Incidentally, if anyone wants to use phantaseur on his own masthead, he's welcome to it. ---------------------------------------- Table of Contents This Is..............Page 1 Pontifex...Donn Brazier.......Page 2 Fillers....Ye Ed....Page 3 1. comments on pontifex 2. verse..
