A Ziff-Davis comic book ad for their new fiction magazine FANTASTIC...a magazine that hasn't usually gotten its due credit for its place world literature, and I'm not kidding at all.
But then, how many magazines have? THE NEW YORKER, overrated in recent decades, but at least credited. In fantastic fiction, WEIRD TALES, if too often backhandely.

First comment should read "its place in world literature,' of course. A magazine that introduced Ursula K. Le Guin, and Ian McEwan to US readers (along with NEW AMERICAN REVIEW), among a slew of others, which published notable work by people ranging from Fritz Leiber to Shirley Jackson to Edgar Allan Poe--a fragment completed by Robert Bloch, who also published his own major stories there...ah, well.
