published monthly at P.O. Box 260 Bllomington, Ill LE ZOMBIE five cents a copy five for two-bits fanzines xchanged volume 4-number 7 september 1941 whole number: 42 bob (app) tucker postoffice bx 260 bloomington, ill -editor- "the kept korpse" e. everett evan 191 capital av-sw battlecreek, mich -associate- EDITORIALIES The picture on the cover is that photo we have been promising for too long a time; Martin Alger's landscape of Mars. We (Evans and I) each have glossy 8 x10 enlargements of the pic. You too can have one, if you desire, by send a quarter to Alger, at Box 520, Mackinaw City, Mich. Sure, this is a plug. This is the price we are paying for getting our 8x10 enlargement. Alger's profession is photography -- hence his neat picture. ** So again LeZ sets some sort of record; offering readers enlargements of our cover. Recall that last month we viewed with alarm a very alarming subject. This month we are happier. The dear readers are with us! To be sure, not all of that silent 75% have written, but many of them did. The tone of all the letters received were encouraging -- to us. They said (some politely, some brutally) for us to continue as in the past . . . . if anything, become more personal! We glee. We despair the mostest about the timeliness and dateness of the material in LeZ. You see, as a rule we do not sit up all night, one night a month, cutting all the stencils at once. Our rule is to dribble the work thru-out the month. Some of the pages in this issue were typed early in August. This one early in September. So you see, what with fan newspapers, and snappier fanzines, some of our information herein is awfully dated. We ask you to overlook this. Perhaps it will still be news to about one-third of our readers; those who don't take the news-sheets. The only way we know to eliminate this evil is to wait until the last week before publication, and do all the stencilling at once. (The very thought causes us to weep!) Dale Hart visited us Sept. 3-4, enroute home to Texas. He will have the same old address: Box 1361, Highlands, Texas. He is half-planning some sort of fanzine. Sully Roberts was in town the entire first week of Sept. on furlough. Reports that about 25 other sobers in his barracks read LeZ after him; and that his whole company are avid readers of the pro mags. Virtually the same report is handed in by my brother at Ft Bragg. Other items which will bring us up to date with latest fanews: Pegasus, Sentinel, and Infinite have just arrived, ushering in the new fanzine season. ** T'other day we received a letter from a fan in Peoria, Ill. (only 40 miles distant) and were we surprised! We didn't relize another lived so close. He said he subscribed to Vom, Fan-Atic and others. For gosh sakes you birds, why didn't you tell us? You should have rushed us a telegram (not collect) to wit: "hey Tucker, a fan! a fan!" There is of course, no truth to the rumour that we write un-inspiring editorials. Dash the thought! (9-5-41) Bob Tucker.
