American Update: Fantasy/Comics Unlimited and other Classic 1970s Fanzines from Alan Austin
*Magazines/Books About Vintage US Comics: A major publication in the burgeoning UK fanzine scene of the 1970s was Alan Austin’s Fantasy Unlimited (later retitled Comics Unlimited), one of the most popular forums for discussion and criticism of the US comics world; Alan was not only the editor and publisher of FU/CU, but proprietor of a major London comics shop for many years, and one of the founders of the UK Comics Price Guide. FU/CU kickstarted the careers of several folks who went on to other things, including artists Antonio Ghura and John Bolton, publisher Martin Lock, and 30th Century Comics’ own Will Morgan, under his ‘maiden name’ of Howard Stangroom! We’re delighted to have various Fantasy Unlimited issues from #8 to #29 new in stock, with the follow-on series Comics Unlimited replenished between numbers #32 to #51, 1975’s Fantasy Unlimited Annual, and the short-lived companion titles Golden Age Fanzine and Whiz Kids, in grades between Fair to Fine.
