The first Fantasy magazine was "Le Mercure Galant" thanks to its inclusion of a Charles Perrault fairytale [Feb 1696]. Oriental satires by John Hawkesworth were featured in "The Adventurer" [1752-1754], and the first all-fiction British magazine was "New Novelists Magazine" [1786-1787]. Gothic fiction was revived in 19th century magazines, and the modern Horror story sprang from that origin; "Blackwood's Magazine" [1817-1980] began the modern practice of fiction being a m ajor part of a magazine's content.

[which] was published by Hypatea Press back in 1988. I edited it [and] amusingly it's become a collector's item, as it included a very funny introduction by Frank Herbert, one of Nina Kiriki Hoffman's first published stories, and a buncha other good things...." "I was also solicited by SFWA to write the 'Taxes for Authors' essay now published in the new handbook..." One of Cyn Mason's published stories is about a tax auditor who gives even Darth Vader a hard time. Known for her twisted sense of humor and her photographic memory, she carries thousands of pages of tax code in her head, poor gal. Speaking of "Rainthology" -- stories about rain and the Seattle area -- I'd submitted a wonderful story, which she rejected on the ostensible basis that it would look like bias based on friendship if she accepted it. In e-mail discussion, we remember this minor incident differently. Nothing personal, Cyn; just that 800+ sales later, I still regret the ones that got away.

Harlan Ellison, and for his appearance in "War of the Worlds." To the mundane world, he was better known as county agent Hank Kimball on the perpetual and stupid TV comedy "Green Acres" with Eva Gabor and Eddie Albert (CBS, 1965-1971). Alvy Moore had guest appearances in 30+ TV series, including "The Beverly Hillbillies", "Daniel Boone", "Evening Shade", "Fantasy Island", "Frasier", "Hill Street Blues", "How the West Was Won", "Little House on the Praries", "Love American Style", "Newhart", "Playhouse 90", and "The Waltons." A resident of Palm Desert, California (he passed away at home), Alvy Moore was trained in drama at Indiana State Teachers College and at the Pasadena Playhouse and made a mark for himself as an actor in the legitimate theatre. He played Ensign Pulver in the Henry Fonda production of "Mister Roberts" on Broadway, replacing David Wayne. He appeared in a variety of summer and regional theatres. Alvy Moore served with the Marines in World War II, and participated in the major battle of Iwo Jima. He became a partner in a wrought iron foundry that primarily merchandised tile-topped tables. He was glad to fall back on on this manufacturing income becuase he found it hard to obtain a studio contract. Nonetheless, he appeared in a couple of dozen films, including "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", "No Business Like Show Business", "Susan Slept Here", and "The Wackiest Ship in the Army." Alvy Moore is survived by his wife, nee Carolyn Mohr, whom he married in 1950, their two daughters (Janet Moore and Alyson Moore of Sherman Oaks), their son Barry Moore of Littlerock, four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

His two best-known books on the history of Science fiction were "The Immortal Storm" and "Voyagers Through Eternity." In "Fantasy Commentator", Vol.VIII, Nos.3&4, Fall 1995, pp.200-201, in his article "The Origin of the Term 'Fanzine'," Sam Moskowitz states "On the average, I get about half a dozen requests a week for information about science fiction and fantasy. This has been going on for so many years that I am unable to recall just when it started.... Many people don't realize that research is my livelihood. Much is done for firms like 'Life' magazine, the 'Encyclopedia Brittanica', 'The Smithsonian' and others of that calibre. They pay professional rates for what they want, and since it's how I make my living, their requests have to take precedence. I enjoy doing such research, but I can't accomodate would-be Ph.D.'s who want me to help them put together book-length theses 'for the glory of science fiction'--and, of course, their academic diplomas...." Sam was a prolific historian of science fiction. In recent issues of Fantasy Commentator" alone, he published: #30: "C.L. Moore and Olaf Stapledon" #31: beginning of "Voyagers Through Eternity", SF History #33: on the world's first college course about science fiction #34: more of "Voyagers Through Eternity", SF History #35: "Olaf Stapledon" #36: beginning of serialization about Bernarr McFadden and SF #39: continuation of "Voyagers Through Eternity" and McFadden #40: "T.S.
