Who'll buy my yesterdays?

I made my first fanzine in 1968. It was a Xeroxed-and-stapled publication titled The Creature Journal, and dealt specifically with horror movies. Less than a decade later, I learned how to run a small printing press and began Magic Theater, which, a few years later, was professionally printed as Magick Theatre.

    I’m not sure if any copies of The Creature Journal still exist…I may have one copy each of three or four different editions packed away somewhere, and I recall that there were thirty or thirty-five editions in total (with an average “print run” of twenty-five copies apiece). And the first five Magic Theaters are rather scarce. (About ten years ago I saw the first issue selling at a convention for $125.00.) I printed about 500 copies of those, while issues six, seven and eight each had a print run of 5,000 copies. Before I moved away from New York, what stock I had left of these went to a fan/collector/dealer, leaving me with none to sell.
