FROM "MFS MEMBERS" IN "FANTASTIC"   VOLUME 1 NO. 4

"He's a very severe art critic, and if a story doesn't appeal to him, it's likely that the accompanying yarn will go unread."  

That's what I call an innovation. Two-for-one. With every story you get an accompanying yarn. Omigosh, I hope not.

FROM AN EDITORIAL BLURB IN "COSMIC TALES"   VOLUME 2 NO. 3

Re "in the Days of the Giants" by T. S. Gardner. "You have waited five years for this story ---Cosmic is presenting it to you----Your five years of waiting is over."

Oh, Lord! Why did daylight ever come?-- Believe me, Jimmy, I could have waited ten years longer, and never missed a thing. Be honest, James; wasn't it pretty terrible?

FROM "MUTINY IN SPACE" IN AMAZING STORIES   VOLUME 15 NO. 9

"I ought to kill you" Vacetti hissed.

That ain't nothin' to what I'd like to do to the author of that hissless hiss.

FROM "INVISIBLE MEN OF MARS" BY EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS IN  "AMAZING STORIES" OCTOBER, 1941

"Motus wore a strange glass helmet---- He rushed at me like a madman: but I side stepped him and as he turned I took off one of his ears as neatly as a surgeon could have done it-----"

Gentlemen: I give you Edgar Rice Burroughs, hack-writer and surgeon extra-ordinary. And, by Gar, don't return him.

The texts states and the cover illustration shows that Motus wore a glass helmet; and yet dear old Edgar neatly slices off one of his ears. Boy, oh, boy, that's a feat of surgery--I should say, legerdemain--to cop the front page.

FROM "HERE'S MARY GNAEDINGER" IN "FANTASY-FICTION FIELD"   VOLUME 2 NO. 17

"greetings from Famous Fantastic Mysteries [underlined] to the Denvention boys and girls!

Now, there's a gal I'd like to meet. Hi there, kiddies.
