A very early fanzine (starting in 1932; early issues are monthly), edited by Allen Glasser, with Mort Weisinger as Associate Editor, Julius Schwartz as Managing Editor and Forrest J Ackerman as Contributing Editor. Considered by some to be the first actual science-fiction fanzine, as it billed itself as “Science fiction’s only fan magazine.” However, Forry Ackerman claimed to have pubbed The Meteor earlier, and The Scienceers’ clubzine, The Planet, also edited by Glasser, came out in 1930. It may, however, be the earliest fanzine that wasn’t a clubzine.
