November 1976. 36 page magazine devoted to the (up-to-then - obviously!) life of sf super-fan Forrest J. Ackerman with contributors including Ray Bradbury and Robert Bloch. The cover reproduces Frank R Paul's artwork for October 1926 Amazing Stories with Ackerman added. As with so many things he turned his hand to, it all seems (to me anyway) too self-congratulatory, self-promoting, and just a little grubby. Very uncommon item. Together with a copy of HOLLYWOOD POST (vol 1 no 3, August 1983), which is pretty much dedicated to Ackerman as well (with colour front cover). View More...
