About This Item
Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1957. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Very Good. Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1957. The February, 1957 issue of Fate Magazine, Volume 10, Number 2, whole number 83. An early issue in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 130 pp. Very Good, plus some; small scale loss at s[pine ends (scan), and rear cover top left corner chip (scan) keeps this example from near fine. Standard fifties-pulps age-toning to the pages, which, of course, remain supple. Nice condition for a periodical which often shows substantial wear from use. See scans. Uncredited cover art shows several cave people who actually look more like 50s commercial models, doing cave paintings 25,000 years ago; at the time, that age for cave art was a real revelation. See the scanned image of the contents page for the articles herein, which cover such topics as that Cave Art, Clairvoyance, a Haunted Orchard, the Lester Hendershot Motor Riddle, Harry Edwards, Telepathy, a Witching Rod, etc. and of course much, much else, including the standard Departments, always engrossing in themselves, all on various other paranormal or inexplicable phenomena. Interior art and photography is largely uncredited. A piece of paranormal history, and an example of a unique branch of Americana, in very highly collectible condition. Scarce item. Please see scans.
