FANTASY ADVERTISER 1

Two years before Anthony Roche published Merry Marvel Fanzine in Ireland (and later Heroes Unlimited), and Phil Clarke and Steve Moore published KA-POW in the UK, Frank Dobson produced this Adzine. Basically, his listings of comics for sale and distributed it to 20 other fans, via an advert in Exchange & Mart.

Issue 1 consists of five pages, including printed pages, a carbon copy, and two pages of lists that look to be handwritten in blue ink.

Whether or not this is how all of the first issues looked when distributed or if it's Frank's own master copy, I have no idea.

it's a real bit of UK zine history, and not one I ever thought that I would find. My thanks to the late Trevor Hughes, who was kind enough to allow me to scan his copy of this, and many other zines.
