New on Archive.org this week, a clean scan of The Phantagraph<\/em> for July 1936 (Vol. 4 No. 4)<\/a>, with the Lovecraft Fungi<\/em> poem “Nostalgia” (c. 1930?) on the cover. Also a short but useful signposting article on ‘weird music’, as it stood in the mid 1930s. <\/p>\n

After the first substantial issue, July-August 1935 (“Volume 4, No. 1” because it was deemed a continuation of the Bulletin of the Terrestrial Fantascience Guild<\/em>) the Hevelin collection also has some complete online scans of Donald Wollheim’s Phantagraph<\/em> from the 1930s. Though with the archive’s ‘plastic hold-down’ scanner-strip visible across the scans…<\/p>\n

* November-December 1935<\/a>. (Letter from Lovecraft praising an article by C. W. Lonsdell on writing good science fiction; Lovecraft poem “The Dweller”; tongue-in-cheek article-squib “How I Get My Inspiration”, on how to ‘write Lovecraftian’ for Weird Tales<\/em>).<\/p>\n

* [July 1936 at Archive.org<\/a>]<\/p>\n

* June 1937<\/a>. (Lovecraft poem “Halloween in a Suburb”)<\/p>\n

* July 1937<\/a>. (Lovecraft poem “The Well”, and Lovecraft’s c. 1920-21 prose poem “Ex Oblivione”)<\/p>\n

* August 1937<\/a>.<\/p>\n

* September 1937<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Archive.org has one 1940s issue, and the Hevelin collection has a number of 1940s issues.<\/p>\n

The FictionMags Index<\/a> has a complete index and tables of contents. The above links are to the only online full scans that I can find from the 1930s.<\/p>\n

In 1967 a slim hardcover collected the very best of the publication as Operation: Phantasy. The Best from The Phantagraph<\/a><\/em> (Table-of-Contents<\/a>). <\/p>\n
