published monthly at post box 260 bloomington, ill LE. ZOMBIE five cents a copy we xchange with other fanzines volume 4-number 9 november-december, 1941 whole number: 44 bob (hpp) tucker -"we are guilty of this"- e everett evan s EDITORIALIES We have skipped an issue, which is obvious. We trust you will find the reason equally obvious-- time. It would have been too much to turn out three issues ( Nov., Dec., & Jan. ) in about six weeks' time. And youse undoubtedly would have noticed the corresponding drop in quality. So we eliminated the November issue, so to speak, by combining two months. H. Warner, Esq. ( in latest Spaceways ) states that booster ads in every fanzine anniversary issue would soon cause a glutted market. Fued! We disagree, ( in addition to mispelling feud ), for a recent survey of the fanzine field undertaken by us and some other fans show that one 'zine in ten lives to see a first anniversary! Thorefore, our booster in our THIRD ANNIVERSARY ISSUE. When you send the ad, you are to send along the name ( or names ) of the fan you love the most. The ad will then appear thusly: "Joe Fann- i love you- Egbert Fann". Same will be neatly boxed of courses. As to contents of that anniversary issue-- shux, that would be telling secrets and spoiling surprises! Plans (hah-- what are plans?) call for that issue to reach you in three seperate sections. Now you guess what it's all about! Inceidentally, the issue will cost regular suscribers no more than five cents. Extra copies ( all 3 sections included ) come at 15¢ each. Fifty ( only fifty ) extra copies will be printed. New notes: Author Graph Waldeyer informs that he tried to join the Naval Reserve and was unceremoniously booted out of the recruiting sta-tion. Fast heart from reading stf. Editor Don Wollheim informs that his Stirring Science Stories will be with us again in January, as a large size monthly! His other, Cosmic Stories, is good and dead. New publication address is: Manhattan Fic-tion Publications, 366 Broadway, N.Y.C Editors wanting their fanzines reviewed in SSS are to send them to his own address, 244 W. 74th , NYC. Strange note: we have a photo here, taken at the Michifan conference, that proves beyond all doubt there is a vampire (-man or -women) with us in fandom. It is a group picture, and one of the group is seen only as a suit of clothes in conversation with another fan -- there is no head or hands showing, attached to the suit in any way whatsoever !!!! It is the most eerie thing --- and the photo wasn't faked, either. The fan ( whoever he is ) just didn't register his self at all! Maybe We'll print it some issue. Coming up sometime in the future: the new Martin Alger trick photo.. a spaceship rounding the moon; three Hunt originals done on the litho machine; a photo and article on Ohio fan Doc Barrett; more OK Smith Services; and of course just oodles of things to cause you to renew your subscription, chum!
