I Palantir was a fanzine devoted to the works of author J.R.R. Tolkien. It was edited by Ted Johnstone and published by Bruce Pelz.
Credited as the first U.S. fanzine solely devoted to Tolkien, I Palantir was the official organ of the Tolkien club, 'The Fellowship of the Ring'. In the UK, Ken Cheslin published Nazgul's Bane for British members.
The first issue appeared in August 1960. It featured cover art by John Harness, and contains the articles "Departure in Peace" by George Heap; "A Study of hithlain of the Wood-Elves of Lorien" by Arthur R. Weir; and "A Faithful Servant Named Sam" by Richard H. Eney (A Sense Of FAPA).
During this period, Bruce Pelz was also published Glamdring, and Ted Johnstone was publishing Mest.
