This issue also announces that the Comic Reader and the Comicollector were expected to be merged into one fanzine, but this obviously fell to the wayside as the Comicollector merged with G.B. Love's Rocket's Blast instead. Also in this issue is a full page photo-offset ad for Fantasy Illustrated #1 with interior art by our own Buddy Saunders. Ads from Bails and Robert Jennings. 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., B&W, 12 pages.
