FROM "SLANDER" IN "FANFARE"     VOLUME 2 NO. 1

    "There are now approximately 20 science fiction and fantasy magazines on the stands. Of this number, one is a reprint, leaving only 7 paying the-cent-a-word rate."

   "Fans will remember the first issue issues of "MARVEL SCIENCE STORIES" with conmingled delight and displeasure-----"
