Lovecraft's Legacy: 1960


Here is a rare image of VOLUME 1 NUMBER 2, FANTASTIC, ILLUSTRATED JOURNAL.

It was a published amateur fiction magazine by Chesapeake Publications, Baltimore, Maryland of 32 pages including cover.

Editorial by Jack L. Chalker,
The Doom that Came to Sarnath by H.P. Lovecraft,
Centaur: A Cleaning up,
Conspiracy Out of Dorwich by Howard St. John,
artwork by Phil Harrell,
Prosser, Donald Studebaker, publisher.

It was hard to track down, but here are some miscellaneous bits about a few of these folks.

At (click) I found: {Ned Brooks states} "It's February of 1993 and I am 55 years old ... {speaking of a cult comic} The Goon was a comic phenomenon of the fandom of the 1950s and 60s - the earliest of these tales is from 1956, and the latest (so far) from 1963. I had gotten into fandom in 1962, and remember seeing Phil Harrell's copies of some of this material. "

Only one tiny note on Studebaker: "John DeCles, pseudonym of Don Studebaker"

And a confirmation of: 1960, November, Kaleidoscope, Conspiracy Out of Dorwich, by Howard St. John at (click)


As stated before, Chlaker can be found at his web site www.jackchalker.com & on wikipedia.
