Started as Bonfire shortly after the club was founded in 1941, our clubzine “official organ” has been called The National Fantasy Fan since 1945. Over our near-century of existence, records have been lost, so we no longer have a complete set of The National Fantasy Fan. The fanzines seen here include zines issued electronically and zines recovered from a variety of sources, notably FANAC.org from Joe Siclari and Edie Stern.
