Description: ACKERMANSION MEMORIES #6 edited by James Van Hise (March 2018) 8 1/2 x 11, 76 pages (plus covers). Fanzine format. Side-stapled. Forrest J Ackerman was one of the earliest contributors to Science Fiction fandom and remained active throughout his life. While most people are familiar with his work in Famous Monsters and Spacemen, much of his other work appeared in fanzines and magazines now long out of print. This issue reprints obscure material by Forrest Ackerman as well as material by and about Ray Bradbury, whom Forry first befriended in 1938. I have been collecting old fanzines for years, especially issues with material by and about Forrest Ackerman (whom I first met in 1982 and knew for the rest of his life as I visited the Ackermansion many times). This is the sixth issue since I started editing and publishing these in 2015. Material in this issue by (and sometimes about) Forrest J Ackerman includes "The Fate of the Cosmos Crew" (from IF #5, 1949), COSMOS rated by FJA (previously unpublished), the letter Forry sent out announcing the then forthcoming FAMOUS MONSTERS #100, 1937 first draft FAPA document with biographical information on himself and Morojo, a 1944 open letter attacking A. Langley Searles, photos from the 1947 Philcon and the 1959 World SF Convention, a 1951 book review by L. Sprague de Camp of THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES, 1939 publicity art for the New York World's Fair (includes comments by Forry Ackerman), an article by Forrest Ackerman on Frank R. Paul, reprints from Forry's 1946 fanzines GLOM #3 and #4, two illustrations by Hannes Bok, a 1996 submission to Forry by artist Rick "Spine" Mountfort of characters from SF movies and the Outer Limits TV show, and more! Back cover by Frank R. Paul. Buyer pays for priority mail or media mail (mailed in a box). Outside the US use the Ebay Global Shipping Program.
