FAN..........................................................................15 [Centered title and author's name] SO YOU'RE GOING TO [underlined] PRINT YOUR FAN MAGAZINE By Robert A. Madle Quite often you read an announcement to the effect that so-and-so is going to publish a [next word underlined] printed fan magazine, and perhaps most of you sadly shake your head, and allow the poor mis-guided individual to experience some soul-shaking facts. A few of you, like Donald A. Wollheim, having an absolute knowledge of the fan world, waste your time warning the fan, who is usually quite new to the fan world. At any rate, our young, inexperienced fan goes ahead and prints a fan magazine, and then things begin to happen! The following is a short history of printed fan magazines, and their hectic careers. THE TIME TRAVELLER: Allen Glasser, back in January 1932, thought of this one. Mr. Glasser conceived the idea, and talked young Conrad Ruppert, then getting his start in the printing business, into printing the magazine. Ruppert was delighted with the idea -- he was a real fan. However, Ruppert spent most of his time printing THE TIME TRAVELLER, and getting absolutely nothing for his efforts. Allen Glasser received credit for everything, so Ruppert, after realiz-ing things discontinued printing the magazine. Glasser and several other fans attempted to print the magazine after Ruppert dropped out, but only one issue appeared. The life of the magazine was ten issues, and it was the [next word underlined] only fan magazine at the time. SCIENCE FICTION DIGEST: After Ruppert dis-continued printing THE TIME TRAVELLER, he and Julius Schwarts, Forrie Ackerman, an Ray Palmer, formed the Science Fiction Digest Company, and published a magazine exactly like the TIME TRAVEL-ER. They decided that someone with editorial ex-perience should edit the new magazine, so they asked Maurice Z. Ingher, then editor of Schwartz
