EDITORIALLY SPEAKING Are you surprized at the appearance of this issue? If you are, I advise you to prepare for some more surprizes. I honestly believe that this issue places us near the top of the amateur fan magazines. Of course, our method of reproduction is not the best theirs is, but it will have to suffice for the present. Anyway, if the magazine were printed or mimeographed, illustrations such as appear in the FFT would be mechanically (and financially) inadvisable. Although this issue is a great improvement over our three preceding numbers, our following issues will be even more better! As soon as circulation permits we are going to add a few more pages and hope to eventually bring the number of pages up to twenty. This will be the equivalent of forty of the smaller pages we previously contained and will be worth the small increase in price. Due to the fact that there is not enough good science fiction material available, we have widened our scope to include articles and discussion on science. After all, this is a science fiction fan magazine, and science is certainly not out of place here. Of course, we will evade articles which are too technical and obtuse. Your suggestions on this subject will be welcome. This issue features a great variety of amateur [fantascience?] artists. The cover, which strikes me as being quite symbolical of science, was drawn by Milton A. Rathman. Morris Dollars, whose sub for last month's "Eternal Wanderer" made such a hit, appears this issue illustrating the same column. Bill Miller, who employs a nice style, also has an illustration this month. But of course, the majority of the art work is done by JVB. The most popular article in the last issue was undoubtedly "Cluck Rogers Is Astounding" by George R. Hahn. Although the author is but fourteen, he sure can write burlesque. We will endeavor to obtain more of the same type from Mr. Hahn. Here is the lineup for next month: "Brain, Part One, by Oswald Train; a new and interesting gossip column by Daniel McPhail, an illuminated poem by Irving L. Kesow (unfortunately Mr. Kesow couldn't have it complete in time for this issue. All these and [more?] will appear next month. Of course, all our regular columns will appear also. Hoping you like this issue as much as........The Editor
