Fantasy Fiction Field was a newssheet edited by Julius Unger from 1940-1945. Unger tried to revive it in 1963, but died on the day of its first printing. Co-editor Harvey Inman printed 19 issues, but the revival folded in the same year.

In FFF's original incarnation, Robert A. W. Lowndes was associate editor and John B. Michel was publisher and printer. In 1941, Robert A. Madle became assistant editor and Rusty Hevelin was the printer. Hyman Tiger also joined as a reporter.

Reviews

If you're one of the people who quit Fantasy News in disgust some time back, like myself, and would like to get your news in un-refashioned style, thenwe know just the news sheet for you. Of course, you understand that no news sheet can fit your qualifications of being absolutely unbiased with even margins, a service and squawk department, and straight, undistorted news about all the cliques in fandom, with fotostats of the coming covers of promags. Yeah, I was resigned to that fact, too. Which is why Julius Unger's Fantasy Fiction Field came as such a shock. It not only has all this but Doc Lowndes is on the staff, and the Feudurians are at last coming in for a square deal, and believe it or not, the Queens SFL news is handled on a purely unprejudiced basis.
