HUGE Lot of 48 Fantasy-Times Fanzines 1951-1957
This auction is for a 48-piece lot of Fantasy-Times, a science fiction newszine published & edited by James V. Taurasi. The entire set of issues were printed via the mimeograph process, which could only produce a maximum of a few hundred copies. Thus, these issues are truly rare. How many of these survive today? Average condition is good - Fine, but there are several issues (all addressed to author Robert Silverberg, and thus his personal copies) that are very brittle, in poor to fair shape (but complete). Billed as The Science Fiction Newspaper. FANTASY-TIMES was a long-running title founded by Taurasi in 1941, an important newszine which was the Locus of its day (in fact, Locus was started to fill the vacuum left by the ending of Science Fiction Times). Under Taurasi’s editorship, it received the 1955 and 1957 Best Fanzine Hugo and nominations for the Hugo in 1956, 1959 and 1960. Taurasi was one of the creators of science fiction fandom as we know it. He was part of the leadership of the First Worldcon, one of the originators of New Fandom, founding member of the QSFL and the GNYSFL. He was generally on the opposite side of fan feuds from the Futurians. He was active in fandom from the mid 1930s to the mid 60s. With c -editors including Sam Moskowitz, Frank Preto, Ray Van Houten and Ed Wood, Taurasi continued FANTASY TIMES through issue 270 in May 1957, when he changed the title to SCIENCE FICTION TIMES. Under editors James Ashe, Anne Dietz, Walter Cole, Vincent McCarty and Andrew Adams-White, it ran steadily through 1969, with a tabloid revival in 1979 -- 1981.
