Hopping in the WABAC Machine
Posted by maggie
I spent a chunk o' time recently trying to locate our fanzines of the past and managed (albeit with a toe stubbed while climbing over junk piled in front of a filing cabinet) to dig out more copies of
Newfangles
to post. I managed to find the second lot of 10 issues -- and #47-54 (the final issue). So now it's a matter of scanning and posting and summarizing. Fingers crossed that I may be able to wrap up this aspect of the project by, say, the end of April. Assuming I can find #21-46.
But in the summarizing of each of the first 10 issues, I did relive some of the focal moments of the late 1960s, including the departure of the King line of comics and our receipt of the first issue of
Zap
. There's a strange interaction in my brain between Things We Know Now (that we didn't then) and Things We've Forgotten (such as where the experimental price-hike variants of Gold Key titles were marketed).
