cover The Alchemist

Drawing by TED GUERIN

page 2 Rainbow-Folio

Rather spartan contents page with no illustrations.

pages 3-8 The Land of Cosmic Fantasies

Wonderfully imaginative story printed in blue on ivory paper. Nice example of a fantasy story that effectively combines collage and drawing (as well as a guest panel on page 4 by MR friend and collaborator E. H. DORN).

page 9 Hydra

Nice cosmic monster drawing printed on lime green Astrobright paper. This same image also appeared in NEMESIS 5 (page 6). This page is blank on the reverse.

page 11 Narwl-yan’s Tomb

Space-fantasy drawing by DON MARSH. The reverse of this sheet is also blank.

page 13 untitled collage-drawing (Manacled to Hell’s Lips)

Collage-drawing by E. H. DORN. Titles for this and the drawing on page 14 are from THRU BLACK HOLES PUBLICATIONS (page 2).

page 14 untitled drawing (E. Dexman Grimoire O’Casey)

Nicely detailed horror drawing by the inimitable E. H. DORN. I love the title!
