Recently Read: The Digest Enthusiast, Volume 12



Out of the chaotic pandemic comes another gloriously full-color and information-packed volume of The Digest Enthusiast. This edition sports a beautifully painted cover by Tony Gleeson, originally intended in the '70s for Amazing Stories Magazine

Among the other goodies you'll find in this packed issue: plentiful news on new digests and publications about digests, an interview with Tony Gleeson, an in-depth look at the '50s Fotocrime magazine, a history of PulpFest's annual publication, The Pulpster, an overview of the early 20th-century Photoplay series, short stories (disclaimer: I illustrated one), and much more. Even the ads are worth seeking out! This is essential reading for those interested in the history of digest and related genre magazines.
