   wwwaaaaaHHOOOOOO!  D'JOURNAL
       GOES BI-MONTHLY!

 Not being able to read, you have
probably never heard of Fantasy ..
Fictions FIRST fun-fan Folio , ...
Featuring Funtastic Foolery before
have you? I didn't think so. This
is to acquaint you with it.   It's
name is:  D'JOURNAL. And all those
fffff's belong to it.
 And, despite any other funtasy
magazine in the field, or any that
are likely to enter the field  in
the near future, D'JOURNAL is THE
funtasy mag!  Take a pee p  at some
of the material lined up for the
second and third issues: 
 "FOUR WALLS DO NOT A PRISON MAKE"
by Ford De Menshen. (Nobody   will
be able to guess the identity  of
this mysterious author. It is ...
whispered tho that he is  Anthony
Gilmore. We can give you a tip: He
lives on that crude west coast  &
speaks Ackermanese): This  yarn
by the way is apt to become  our
first book-length novel, or two
part serial, it is that long.; 
 "REPORT ON THE FIRST PEORIA S-F
CONVENTION" by Peo ria  Ike.; 
 "A LETTER FROM INJUN JOE", our
first D'JOURNAL NOVA story.  (Oh
yes, that professional magazine
is imitating US!) This is  by
Lan McPhail.; "A FAN IS DOOMED"
by Namahara, or better known  as
Mary G. Byers, Doc, so dont call
her a 'Messer'.; "THE SCIENCE
CITY OF AMERICA" by Ron Renolds,;
 "UNPUBLISHED SCRIPT FOR THE NEXT
TARZAN PICTURE" -- this scoop was
smuggled out of Hollywood to  us
by Cecil Clayborne Cunningham ,
(Gad! What a name!) and is really
an oringal script.; " PIRLARK
PATROL" by Tony Strothers. You
dont want to miss the hairraising

experi nces of Kibitzer Kimmerson
in this epic!; "ON THE CARE  AND
FEEDING OF VAMPIRES" by Dr. Dick
Wilson,Jr. Pfffft. This important
treatise covers every known angle
on raising the little pets.; 
 "How to run a successful Ghost
Agency" by that hair-pulling
ghost-writer, Brian Eldred. Never
heard of him? Neither did we till
the MSS came. Maybe he IS a ghost.
 "THE SKYLARK OF LOVE", another
on of those kibitzing things,this
one by Phlian Hyghe, whom also we
never heard of till the MSS  came.
Say, Dr. EE can't have THAT many
friends!; "WRITING TH  SCIENCE
FICTION YARN" by Harry Warner,Jr.
This one really belongs in  the
"Writers Digest" magazine,  but
we snatched it first.; and say,
did you know that D'JOURNAL has
exclusive reprint rights to the
material published by THE
FANTASY FAN, IMAGINATION,  and
FANTASCIENCE DIGEST in years gone
past? (Well, almost exclusive!)
We have quite a bit of the more
humorous reprints from these fan
magazines coming up.
 And D'JOURNAL is mutating too!
Our photographic covers of space
ships of the future are the talk
of the nation! (Sample on other
side.) In the       issue we have
a bombastic cover on tap, somethin
extremely new and interesting!
 And our departments are the
Zombie's pajamas: "WE VIEW  WITH
ALARM" (editor); "OF ABSOLUTELY
NO INTEREST TO YOU" story fore-
cast by Bradbury; "CAUSTIC CON ENT"
(readers) and others.
 Volume One, Number Two,  dated
  ..    1939 ready in January. 10¢
 Address: P.O. Box  260
   Bloomington, Illinois , USA.
for a copy of this coming issue .

As much as possible, this is an exact reporduction of the orignal, with the same spaces and spellings. In the original, the space between the two columns is slightly smaller, and "December, 1938," "ZOMBIE" and "#1" were hand written. There are no plans to reproduce additional issues of LeZ in text, but jpgs of all issues are slowly being posted to eZombie/Le Zombie home.
