Robert Kanigher is featured this issue with "This is - Rosebud", a nine page response to a 1988 article "Looking For Robert's Rosebud" by Graeme Bassett in FA #107 (I think that's the British publication FANTASY ADVERTISER).  Kanigher goes through Bassett's article, using it as an excuse to relate various anecdotes about his history.  This is the condensed version, as he claims the original ran fifty one pages. A lot of fascinating stories in here, making me wonder how far he got into the occasionally mentioned trilogy of memoirs.

In a half-page Under the Gun we have Alvin Schwartz responding to Alex Toth's remarks about Mort Meskin and also some memories of meeting Kanigher in the late 1950s at DC.

There's also a brief text preview of Steve Ditko's "Laszlo's Hammer", coming up in a few months and a page of books for sale.
