(Virginia) Daugherty; Chanticleer, by Walt Leibscher; En Garde by Abby Lu Ashley and Al Ashley; Fan by Walter J. Daugherty; Fanews by Walt Dunkelberger; Five Fingers; Guteto by Myrtle Douglas (Morojo); Ichor, by Dale Hart; Lethe, by Jack Riggs; Le Zombie, by Wilson 'Bob' Tucker; Martian News Letter; Matters of Opinion, by Jack Speer; Phanteur, by D.B.
