A propos de cet article

Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1955. The November, 1955 issue of Fate Magazine, Volume 8, Number 11, a scarce issue in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 130 pp. Much better than Very Good, not quite Near Fine, due to 1/4 loss at spine top. No other salient flaws; even standard 50's-pulps toning to the interior pages is quite moderate here, and of course the pages remain supple. See scans. Very High grade condition for a periodical which often shows substantial wear from use. Uncredited cover art shows a fetching lass, looking the southern belle, but in fact an English lady, as an illustration of "Journey Into the Past". See the scanned image of the contents page for the articles herein, which cover such topics as a Banshee Cry, Poltergeist, Palmistry, Telepathy, Mathematical Dog, Invisible Cat and of course much, much else, including the standard Departments, always engrossing in themselves, all on various other paranormal or inexplicable phenomena. Interior art and photography is largely uncredited. A piece of paranormal history, and an example of a unique branch of Americana, in very highly collectible condition. A very scarce issue. Please see scans. l53n.
