Fantasy Fiction and Other Key Magazines, on the Newsstands (Mostly), early August 1964




























































































































































































































Macabre [#15, Summer 1964] (40¢, 24pp+, 6" x 9" s/s) edited and published by Joseph Payne Brennan













































































































Though apparently there were August and September issues of SSI, information I can find as yet is scarce...the August issue apparently included stories by Alberto Moravia, Maurice Druon, and Wilfredo D. Nolledo.

  2. You're quite welcome, and thank you, Jerry. It's a time-consuming whimsy that has some research and reference value...and some impressive material comes back to me, as well...

  3. Not usually a fantasy magazine....and you see no AMAZING, GALAXY, IF, nor NEW WORLDS as yet (Paul Fraser asked about the last)...I thought I had done sf magazines for 8/64, but it seems as if no...
