Publishing Giants

from Fancyclopedia 2

(Burbee:Berkeley) Carr, Ellik, and to a degree Graham and Rike, from the vast fanzine output of the Berkeley Bhoys in the late 50s. The phrase was popularized by FANAC, which used it as a gagline; later it was applied to other large-volume publishers like the CRY crowd, Ted White, etc.

[JC] Rick Sneary created a fine variant, "Publishing Jiants"; that spelling was dominant for a while.
