The Phantagraph, Aug '40 Page meeting with him, and , in particular, his pic[?] and amazingly youthful blue eyes, set deep in the aged and bearded visage. We had thought his Amazing Stories something with which we could dispense painlessly, but, after months and months of Ziff-Davis Amazing, we find ourselves looking back on Sloane's placid magazine with a certain nostalgia. Fred Pohl is now known as editor of Astonishing Stories and Super Science Stories but [?] prefer to think of him as the editor of that particularly unique vehicle "Mind of Men". We [?] that there has been any fan magazine that could match it (unless we except our own "Mentator" which was a deliberate take-off). Its forte was Carrollesque poetry and prose, sometimes in the daffier "transition" style, with illustrations by La Porri to match. Fred has been tinkering with the idea of bringing forth another issue and we urge connoisseurs of madness to pester him toward that end. We are publishing elsewhere in this issue a bit of Pohlanic poetry, snatched from the unpublished pages of his anthology "Not I But Ego", collected and illustrated by Doc Lowndes. Fan magazine collectors who are interested in getting back copies of "The Phantagraph" will please not hesitate to write for our list. We have lots of copies of many different issues, dating back to 1935 for sale at quite low prices. Also copies of "Fanciful Tales", a semi-professional printed magazine of over forty pages. "Fanciful Tales", while the supply lasts, is ten cents per copy. "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lych wgah'nagl fhtagn. Cthulhu fhtagn!"
