Ted Knight Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 It's not easy collecting so many different things. It's just that there is so much very cool stuff out there. Comics, Vintage Paperbacks, Pulps, Postcards, Statues, Movie posters, and on and on. I never get tired of it. Nice stuff, Alanna. Thanks for posting.

BangZoom Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 What are these magazines like inside? If the stories are even half as entertaining as the headline teases on the covers, they must be fun to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Here's my copy of the hand-collated special edition (150 copies). It's nearly an inch thick! And another Moskowitz fanzine - New Fandom from 1938. It's a bit washed out, but the images on the cover are all cut and pasted by hand... Thanks for the scans. I've never seen either one of those before. Check out Miskantonic Books Blog for additional scans of early fanzines and a fun summary of early SF fandom: The Ancient World of Fanzines Long, long ago on a primitive planet teenagers went amok. Fed by imagination and fueled by pulp paper and ink they formed little local clubs and passed Weird Tales and Hugo Gernsback scientifiction (later Sci-Fi and SF) back and forth between each other. When a “pen pal” in a far off town couldn’t get the latest works of E Hoffmann Price, Seabury Quinn, Dr. David Keller, Ray Bradbury, Damon Knight, L Sprague deCamp, Isaac Asimov, or some other fantasy-horror-weird tale writer, they traded them or sold extra copies. Not content to merely talk about it, or send a USPS letter about it (long distance! too expensive!), they made their own “fanatic magazines”, or fanzines. These were the rawest of raw by the most amateur of amateurs. The art was drawn, and then hectographed (by gelatin plates) or sometimes a raid to the local high to use the mimeograph machine! Crude? You bet. Fun? Better than an Indie forum firefight. In fact, fanzines invented the flame war. One of the first practitioners of the flame war was a guy from Providence named Howard Lovecraft. When “H P Lovecraft” wasn’t calling down astrologers in the newspapers, or ripping into Edgar Rice Burroughs for not portraying Mars correctly, he critiqued other people’s stories. That is until he met a kid from California named Forest Ackerman. Whew, was that something. Later, along came cratchity Harlan Ellison, frenetic Ray Bradbury, and a boy from Florida...

BangZoom Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Here's a great Saunders cover with an REH story inside. "The Curly Wolf of Sawtooth" was originally written as one of Howard's Breckinridge Elkins stories, a popular Western humor series that was running in Action Stories. This one was apparently rejected, so he changed the name of the main protagonist to "Bearfield Elston" and sold it to rival Star Western instead. Great stuff. It looks like just trying to track down all of Howard's work could keep a pulp collector busy for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
