    Issue #2 - Feb. 1996. From 1960 to 1972, amateur ditto printed fanzines flourished. Creators like our own Buddy Saunders, Ronn Foss, Richard Grass Green, Biljo White, Bill Schelly, Steve Perrin and Richard Buckler have stories reprinted here. Characters like The Eye, Speed Marvel, Astro Ace and more have been retouched and prepared for black and white printing. Editor Bill Schelly has this to say about the early ditto printing process with its distinctive aroma and purple ink: "...the publishers of ditto fanzines fastened those magical master units to the rotating drums... the drums whirled, the paper unfurled and soon the purple-fingered purveyors of dittoed daydreams were mailing their handiwork to perhaps a hundred or so faithful readers." Relive the early grand days of comic fandom. 8 1/2-in. x 11-in, 80 pages, black and white. Cover price $7.95.
