'Greetings! At long last, Futuria Fantasia!' The very first issue of teenage Ray Bradbury's fanzine, after piles of manuscripts and a shut-off financial faucet.

This Summer 1939 debut of 'Futuria Fantasia,' hand-edited by a young Ray Bradbury, is a foundational artifact of golden-age SF fandom. Charming, historically precious. Read it for the first issue of the fanzine that helped launch one of the genre's greatest careers.
