Reviews of recent FANZINES FEMIZINE. Here come the ladies! Femizine, which is “edited and printed ... on behalf of ail femme-fans,”’ is meant to be “not too serious, but not frothy” (what about _ frilly ?). Its aim is to unite the female minority groups in the U.K. Good idea. With one exception (readers’ letters) the contents will be wholly femi- nine in origin, but it is hoped - that men will suscribe. Of course they will; try and stop them! The first issue is free, while copies last, to all who write for it, from Frances Evans, School House, Teign- mouth Street, Collyhurst, Manchesier, 9. Future issues will cost 9d. each or 2s. 6d. for four issues from the same source. Material for publica- tion should be sent to Ethel Lindsay, 126 West Regent Street, Glasgow. Letters and fanzines (for review) should go to the Editor, Sgt. Joan W. Carr (W.R.A.C.), c/o 127 by The Editor R.A.P.C. Sgt’s Mess, Maida Camp, M.E.C.F. 17. (Mail takes about three weeks to get to Joan.) This first issue has eighteen pages. It is said that the next will have at least thirty. It’s good stuff all through. Buy it, please. PHANTASMAGORIA is published by Derek Pickles, © 197 Cutler Heights Land, Bradford 4, and Stan Thomas, 22 Marshfield Place, Bradford 5, both of Yorkshire, Eng- land. The first one of the new series to hand is not over- whelmingly interesting, but Stan and Derek are not asking for subscriptions—Phantas- magoria can be yours if you: a, write a letter of comment; b, contribute; c, send a maga- zine. Most of the contents are about the Manchester Convention—I never want to read about a water pistol again! comiclooks.conm
