Reviews

In Sun Spots, you should like the informality throughout, even though none of the material stands out. Most interesting are the editorials, and a unique article by George Wetzel on doodles. Mebbe not fantastic, the latter, but interesting.

Most consistently sloppy fanmags: SUNSPOTS and NEW FANDOM.

Joe Gilbert in Fanfare #5 pg. 13 (Dec. 1940)

SUN SPOTS has dissolved, and believe it or not, I'm sorry.

Joe Gilbert: "Slan!-der". Fanfare #7 pg. 14, Aug. 1941.

Fans speak of boycotting this and boycotting that, but there action always ends. No true action is ever put into effect. Sun Spots has been dropped — not flopped, mind you — dropped from stfandom due to a distinct boycotting from a popular froup of fans. This should be done to other select fmz.

Unknown writer: Hell Fire. Fantasite #5 pg. 17 (Sept. 1941)

Sun Spots would later return, and outlast both Fanfare and Fantasite.

Half of the latest issue of Sun Spots is devoted to the letter section, which improves the quality of the entire issue.
