Spines variously creased and faded, with a few chipped away at edges. Three issues with tape reinforcement to cover interiors along edges. Pages toned (Feb. and Apr. more lightly so) but unmarked. Bindings are sound. Complete run of the short-lived pulp named to surf the popularity of the six-years-deceased Merritt. The magazine reprinted three works by Merritt -- Creep, Shadow! (novel), "Three Lines of Old French" (short story), and The Faced in the Abyss (novella) -- as well as a biographical portrait in the final October issue. The run also included Max Brand's (as George Challis) The Smoking Land, Jack Mann's The Ninth Life, George Allan England's The Elixir of Hate, Jack Williamson's "Racketeers in the Sky," art by Virgil Finlay, Paul Calle, H.R. Van Dongen, and a letter to the editor by an opinionated and question-brimming 15-year-old Robert Silverberg, among others. The magazine folded before a planned sixth issue was finished.
