FANTASY COMMENTATOR

FANTASY COMMENTATOR
   US FANZINE (1943-current), ed from New York by A. Langley SEARLES The Winter 1993-94 issue, no 45/46, was called "50th Anniversary Double Issue". The original run of 26 issues, 1943-53 - quarterly before 1950 and then irregular - featured well written, scholarly articles about contemporary fantasy writers and an impressive series of bibliographies. FC was notable at this time for publishing the series of articles about FANDOM by Sam MOSKOWITZ that later became The Immortal Storm (1954) and for the original material it carried by A. MERRITT, Henry KUTTNER, David H. KELLER, H.P. LOVECRAFT and William Hope HODGSON. FC was suspended in 1953 but revived in 1978 with \#29 (facsimiles of \#27-\#28, which had been set up in 1953 but not published, were released in 1986). Up to 1950 FC appeared quarterly, thereafter irregularly. Its current incarnation was annual to 1990, semiannual thereafter. Regular contributors to the current version include Moskowitz and Mike ASHLEY. FC remains strong in scholarship about early sf and fantasy.
