View source for Quote-Cover

{{fancy2|text=
([[Boggs]]) A cover which is filled with [[interlineation]]-style quotations rather than [[art|art work]], etc; also known as coverquotes, quotelines, quovers. They evolved ultimately from the list of [[fanzines]] and [[fans]] on [[Art Joquel]]'s ''[[Fanfile]]'' #1 (1941) reprinted on [[Chauvenet]]'s ''[[Fanzine Digest]]'' (April '42), but in their current period of fad were popularized by the [[Insurgents]] with [[Wild Hair]] #7 (June '51). [[Rotsler]] was probably the main carrier-on of the Insurgent coverline idea -- "coverline" was the name [[Burbee]], [[Laney]], and Rotsler used for them, but "quote-cover" rapidly became the general expression. [[Art Rapp]] wanted to use "beardmutterings", but [[Damon Knight]]'s [[beardmuttering|invention under this title]] has prior right.
