Nirvana
from Fancyclopedia 2 ca. 1959
A very ordinary fanzine published by Ken Bulmer. Only one person (Walt Willis) commented on it and Ken folded it immediately. But a legend grew up about its mythical following issues (cf. Odd Tales)… fabulous material, subs by invitation only, a sort of inner circle fanzine for the elite of the elite; those in the know, especially Walt and Ken, mentioned it only in hushed tones and reverent voices. It has, I hear, never previously been explicitly revealed as a hoax.
