concerning our Sifting through
contents: our pages before reading as you probably did, you undoubtedly noticed the profusion of cartoons, illustrations, and sundry devices that should appeal the male instincts. That at present, is our sole aim: an amateur magazine for the stronger sex. We therefore now invite the women to get the hell out- diablerie is not for you. 

 And although the caustic and damning comments fly thick and fast, we assure you that will continue to be our course be slight variations, but basically it shall remain the same. 

We might mention here that we do not wish to be taken wrongly in our stand; we love all the gals and hope they feel the same, but the idea of a poor fan's Esquire has long appealed to us, and we are glad to say at last our ide a s have borne fruit.

m o r e    One of the more lamentable  color, too   situations existing in fandom is the excessive lack of or absence of a variety of color in the amateur publications. Most are either somber black, an eye-straining hecto purple, or a repulsive shade of green. Readers with weak stomachs can generally be seen running hell- bent for the back - house when confronted with either or the latter two, while the first can become distressingly tiresome after the first ten or fifteen pages. We propose to keep our pages budding with color, though we have not t h e slightest intention of making the magazine blatant.

We cannot, as yet, promise more than two mimeograph colors per page because our duplicator is not a precision model. We soon hope to obtain the latter, and when we do--it will mean up to five colors a page. 

a word about         We sincerely believe the format             that a decent  format is 
                             essential, and therefore intend  to keep our appearance fairly neat and orderly. We are not, however going to standardize t h e titles, hoping then to keep them refreshing and different.Neither are the flighty or feminine, designed to appeal to the male fan.

Running through various issues of the professional and amateur magazines we noticed that those which repeated the same makeup issue after the issue tended to become rather tiring.We do not want that to happen to diablerie.

Without outside contributions we know we shall become stuffy, one-sided, and otherwise quite boring, so let us see your work.
