8 THE SCIENCE FICTION FAN over the task. The editors have been Maurice Z. Ingher, Conrad H. Ruppert and Julius Schwartz, respectively. THE FANTASY FAN Starting in September, 1933, Charles D. Hornig published The Fantasy Fan. a magazine for lovers of weird fiction. After a brief existence of eighteen monthly issues, it was discontinued. Altho Mr. Hornig put his heart and soul into his magazine, it never attained a high circulation. THE PLANETOID In December, 1932, Bob Tucker brought out a petite printed magazine which he called The Planetoid. Only two issues ever appeared, the contents of which were so poor that Charles D. Hornig gave Tucker a blasting which resulted in an enviable friendship. Copies of this magazine are very rare. THE PHANTAGRAPH The Phantagraph is the printed follower-up of the Bulletin of the Terrestrial Fantascience Guild, which was a poor mimeographed journal. The Phantagraph is edited by Donald A. Wollhem, and has, thus far, seen four issues. It is a magazine of The Fantasy Fan type, that is, devoted to weird fiction fans. it has changed its format three times in four issues. SCIENCE FICTION CRITIC The initial issue of The Science Fiction Critic was called The Science Fiction Revue, but changed its moniker because another little publication with the same title was being published. The fist three issues were mimeographed, but the ones following appeared in printed form. It did have a monthly publication date, but doesn't any more. Claire P. Beck is the editor and publisher. TESSERACT MAGAZINE Tesseract Magazine is the publication of The Science Fiction Advancement Association. It was published monthly, in mimeographed form, from March, 1936 to June, 1936, in which issue it announced that it had combined with The Planeteer and would resume publication, in printed form, the latter part of September, therefore it should be out by the time this column is printed. THE SCIENCE FICTION COLLECTOR This small hectographed magazine has appeared every three weeks since May 1, 1936. Altho it has a very neat appearance, the material printed is poor. The SFC is edited, published and written by Morris Dollens, Jr. Mr. Dollens should attempt to secure material written by someone else besides himself. There are numerous other fan publications, but the ones described above are, I believe, the ones you fans are most interested in. Such magazines as The Brooklyn Reporter, Arcturus and other Science Fiction League publications all have the same histories, therefore I have not attempted to set forth any details concerning them. The following news might be of interest to you. In a month or so science fiction fans will be receiving advance copies of a new printed fan magazine, called The Fantascience Digest. This magazine has secured articles and storys by such famous authors and fans as Dr. David H. Keller, Ralph Milne Farley, Donal A Wollheim and numerous others. Your columnist will be co-editor. Other forthcoming printed fan magazines are The Science Fantasy
