Pre-war science fiction fanzine with some superb mimeograph work to the front cover, reproducing a drawing attributed to "Sully". The editor and cover artist are almost certainly Clarence Willard "Sully" Roberds (1918-74), who was an associate of Bob Tucker and editor of the better-known fanzine Fantasy Fictioneer. Roberds was also the publicity director for the Illinois Fantasy Fictioneers. This issue is described as a convention issue and the event, though not named, is likely the Third Chicago Conference, which was held during April 1940 in Bloomington, Indiana. The zine is undated. OCLC locates no holdings; however, there is a copy in the Hevelin Collection at the University of Iowa, which assigns a date of 1939. Standard A4 format (8 1/2" x 11"): [4] p. Mimeographed and bound with two staples. The top leaf has separated from the staples. Some general toning, with a few minor tears and creases.
