| 6 V2.3 | July 1954 | 36 | From Dick Geis’ review in Psychotic 16: “With his new policy of devoting one complete issue to reprints from the good-old mags, Ellik has, I think, hit upon an excellent path to fame and egoboo. “Assisted by Shelby Vick, Ron has made his zine a virtual MUST for all new and most not-so-new fans. This issue is a case in point as the best from Lee Hoffman's QUANDRY is presented for the delection of the new and old fans alike. The next zine to be dipped into is Bob Tucker's fabulous and legendary LE ZOMBIE. “It is my personal thought that Ron and Shelby are filling a very important role in fannish publishing; a good reprint zine should always be in existence to link the present with the past and to help prevent the new fans from becoming rootless and wild. This zine, and any others that may come along of the same character, should nip in the bud any future resurgence of the wild disorder which has recently inflamed and disgusted a large part of fandom.” |
