About this Item

Niekas established itself as a large and variegated magazine containing a mixture of articles, but with particular emphasis on Fantasy and J R R Tolkien. Niekas ceased publication with no 20 in 1968, only to be revived with no 21 in 1977. Contributors to Niekas included Piers Anthony, Isaac Asimov, Anthony Boucher, Algis Budrys, Avram Davidson, Philip K Dick, Raymond Z Gallun, Jack Gaughan, Harry Harrison, Sam Moskowitz, Andre Norton, Alexei Panshin, Jerry Pournelle, Donald A Wollheim and Roger Zelazny. Niekas won the Hugo for Best Fanzine in 1967 and was nomnated again in 1989. (Peter Nicholls, Rob Hansen, David Langford/Encyclopedia of SF, 3rd Edition). #39's articles include Tolkien's Military by Betty J Bruther, columns by Fred Lerner, Anne Braude, and Don D'Ammassa among others. The Tolkien Journal is a 1968 reprint of the original issue's 1 & 2 edited by Dick Plotz that first appeared in the Spring and Winter of 1965. This issue of Neikas and these reprints of the Tolkien Journal are hard to come by and not offered together anywhere else that this editor is aware of. This Niekas is a new uncirculated copy and the Tolkien Jounral is also uncirculated, but is lightly browning from age. They are both being protected in plastic acid free storage bags. A must have for fanzine collectors and Tolkien enthusiasts.
