Very rare mimeographed and hand-stapled Futuria Fantasia ‘magazine,’ Volume 1, No. 4., 8.5 x 11, 18 pages, signed and inscribed on the front cover in black ballpoint, “David!, Ray Bradbury 2/5/88.” Dampstaining to bottom and light toning to inside pages, otherwise fine condition.
Shortly after graduating high school in 1938, aspiring writer Ray Bradbury joined the now legendary Clifton’s Cafeteria-hosted LA Science Fantasy Society with fellow sci-fi enthusiasts Forrest Ackerman and Robert Heinlein. With Ackerman’s help, Bradbury put together Futuria Fantasia, publishing his own writing along with stories from Heinlein and illustrations from Hannes Bok. After releasing only four issues in editions of 100 copies each, the team called it quits, and Bradbury focused on writing for various pulp magazines. Until the 2007 facsimile reproduction was released, Futuria Fantasia was near impossible to find in any form. This edition, one of the original 100 copies released in 1940, is a true treasure from the golden years of Science Fiction: an outstanding and incredibly rare piece from the earliest stage of Bradbury’s career.
