FANAC Fan History Project Provides Material for Dublin’s Fan Retro Hugo

The nomination forms have gone out for Dublin 2019’s Retro Hugo awards for works published in 1943. It’s often very difficult to find materials relevant to the Fan Categories for the Retros, but we have a solution!  FANAC.ORG has assembled the list of fanzines published in 1943, with links to those available on line. We’ve made several hundred fanzines available, and more will be added if they become available at https://fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos1943.html

Here you’ll find fanzines from 4sj, Doc Lowndes, J. Michael Rosenblum, Bob Tucker, Jack Speer, Larry Shaw, F. T. Laney and other stalwarts of 1943 fandom (and also Claude Degler). There are genzines, FAPAzines, newszines, and letterzines. There is fannish artwork, and fannish poetry.  There’s even the first publication of Lovecraft’s “Funghi From Yuggoth”. Fanzines which meet the issue requirements for Best Fanzine are so marked. We hope you enjoy the material, and encourage you to nominate in support of the Retro Hugo Awards.  Nominations close at end of day March 15, 2019.

Editori’s note:  the featured image of Le Zombie is not an eligible issue, but we liked the headline.  Later issues of Le Zombie are eligible.
