Large octavo, single issue, printed from typeset copy, self wrappers, stapled. A legendary amateur magazine of the 1930s, THE PHANTAGRAPH was the retitled continuation of Wilson Shepherd's club magazine, THE INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE FICTION GUILD'S BULLETIN (the 4-page hectographed first issue appeared in May 1934). This July-August 1935 issue was the first issue edited by Wollheim as well as the first printed issue, a large 8-page job produced by amateur publisher William Crawford. This issue includes contributions by Donald A. Wollheim, F. Orlin Tremaine, H. C. Koenig, Wilson Shepherd, and others. "Encouraged by the excellent material being received from Smith, Lovecraft and others, Wollheim decided to pattern the publication after the now-defunct FANTASY FAN. The quality of material used was very high, and in this respect the magazine easily equaled its ideal. Collectors who have overlooked this periodical have missed much indeed." - Moskowitz, The Immortal Storm, pp. 30-1. Pavlat and Evans, Fanzine Index (1965), pp. 82-3. Wollheim, Operation Phantasy: The Best from The Phantagraph, pp. 9-14.

Early issues of the magazine are rare and are seldom found in nice condition. (#102185).…

Condizione: A generally fine set. (31556). Small octavo, ten issues, pictorial wrappers. Digest magazine. This was to be a companion to Galaxy Science Fiction, in the tradition of Unknown.

Dick, Isaac Asimov, John Wyndham, Algis Budrys, Zenna Henderson, Jerome Bixby, Philip Jose Farmer, Fredric Brown, and others.

This magazine's content was not broad based fantasy fiction, while it did publish quality fiction, it stayed away from traditional fantasy and popular sword and sorcery. It also got lost in the SF digest magazine boom. The covers of the first two issues are by Richard Powers. [Reference: Tymm and Ashley, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 137-142]. …

[Reference: Tymm and Ashley, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 476-481]. Mild tanning to text paper, mild edge wear, bottom edge trimmed, a nearly fine copy. (36768).…

Octavo, ten issues, publisher's green cloth stamped titled in gold. All published. One of 170 sets bound in cloth. Publication of HAWK & WHIPPOORWILL was terminated with the tenth issue for financial reasons. "I undertook the publication of HAWK & WHIPPOORWILL, determined to bring out at least ten issues, primarily to inquire into the potential public for a magazine which, while not committed to any one direction in poetry, nevertheless was inclined toward traditional forms, and with an editorial policy encouraging poems of nature and man, secondarily to fill the void left by the suspension of TRAILS . Subscribers to the first year of HAWK & WHIPPOORWILL numbered approximately two hundred; subscribers to the last numbered less than half that number, which, I conclude -- perhaps erroneously -- is not so much criticism of the contents of the magazine as proof of a sad indifference to it" ("On Publishing a Little Magazine," HAWK & WHIPPOORWILL IV:3 [1963], p. 79). "I had not, in any event, visualized extended publication, and the economic facts really permitted of no other solution. True, I had 170 sets bound and priced them at $10 the copy -- of these perhaps half sold; the other half remain to be sold. The entire venture, exclusive of book publication, lost me a total of $1,706.50, or roughly $170 an issue . the overwhelming mass of poetry submitted was so very bad that editing the magazine soon became a depressing chore, and I was not unhappy to suspend it finally" ("My Life in Poetry," 1971). Wilson 695. A fine copy. (#164261).…

Octavo, single issue, pictorial wrappers, stapled. Includes reprint of "The Doom that Came to Sarnath," a short story by H. P. Lovecraft.

"Although THE ARKHAM SAMPLER carried a number of competent new stories, that had not been its prime purpose. Derleth's quarterly had tried to elevate the fields of weird and horror fantasy, and to some degree science fiction, with distinguished critical writing and reviewing. In this respect TAS, however unprofitable, was decades before its time" (Tymn and Ashley). Parnell, Monthly Terrors, pp. 14-15 (listing contents). Tymn and Ashley, eds., Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 112-114. Shallow loss to spine ends of several issues, just a bit of the inevitable rust staining from binding staples to front and rear covers of several issues, a nearly fine set. A remarkably nice set, and uncommon thus. (#173957). …
