Issue #66

Issue #66 cover by Robert Kline. "This is Robert Kline's first cover for RBCC -- issue #66. In RBCC #67, Kline wrote: "I was amazed by the similarity between the cover of WEIRD SCIENCE #15 and my drawing. The volcanos, the pteranodons, tyrannosaurus-type, the running lizard, and of course the space-suited spacemen are all elements appearing in both Mr. Wood's drawing and my own. If I had, I would not have done so much the same thing as had been done before." I agree. This was my first issue of RBCC and the first fanzine I ever saw, and I recently acquired the original art for this cover. A treasure, to be sure."[2]
