Add to basketStapled Wraps. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. New York: Ronald L. Smith, 1955. First edition. March, 1955 / issue number 8 under the name Inside and Science Fiction Advertiser (which is the last name for the famed sci-fi / fantasy fanzine, which was also published under the earlier names "Fantasy Advertiser" and "Science F…iction Advertiser", though the primary focus was always Science Fiction). Ron Smith became the Editor/Publisher with the November, 1954 issue, which was also the first under this name. Octavo, stapled illustrated wraps, 38 pp. Near Fine; thin peripheral toning (see scans). This March / 1955 issue was published as Ron Smith was in the process of improving the fanzine, which had been erratic in quality in prior years; 1956, yet to come, would be perhaps the best year. This issue features two sci-fi stories, The Ship and Son, a relative rarity for the article-oriented fanzine; and probably its finest collection of illustrations to this point in time - thanks to the efforts of art editor Cindy Smith. The art includes a Neil Austin cover, illustrating the story The Ship, and interior work by Austin, Cindy (Smith), Joe Gross, Alan Hunter, Ralph Rayburn Phillips, and Dave Hammond. Stories, articles and reviews (see scan of contents page) are by Joe Gibson, William L. Freeman, Bill Hamling, William F. Nolan, Charles E. Fritch, Joseph Slotkin, George Martindale, and Bob Tucker, as well as editor Ron Smith. A rarity, for the collector. l-pr1. Neil Austin, Cindy (Smith), Joe Gross, Alan Hunter, Ralph Rayburn Phillips, Dave Hammond (illustrator).

Good condition. In 1948 a postcard illustration competition for "fan artists" was held by the Portland Science Fantasy Society in which ten winners were chosen; the winning illustrations were then reproduced as lithographed postcards. Following their publication, the author of this booklet, Dr. David H. Keller, decided that a story could be written tying all the illustrations together. Keller wove together this diverse set of illustrations to create a strange and fantastical tale of a doomed earth. David H. Keller was a physician and author of science fiction and fantasy magazines. Signatures found in this booklet belong to Donald B. Day, author, illustrator and editor of the science fiction fanzine, The Fanscient, and Ralph Rayburn Phillips, fantasy illustrator who contributed to publications such as Destiny: Tales in Science-Fantasy, Challenge, The Fanscient, Shanadu and others.
