  • Notes:
    • Stated to be an "undated magazine", but copyright 1973.
    • Cover art is titled "Earth Void in Color".
    • "Editor/Publisher Amos Salmonson; Art Director Joy Long; Assistant JoAnne Long; Aids and Abettors: Charles Slavik, Ed Washburn, Bernice Collinge, special mention to Dale C. Donaldson for gentle nudging and a patient ear, and all the authors and artists credited elsewhere." Phyllis Ann Karr, later a co-editor, is not involved in this issue.
    • "This magazine available by subscription only: $6 for six issues, $11 for twelve issues, $20 for twenty-four issues."
    • Unbound, loose leaf. 3-hole punched, e.g. to be added to a notebook of issues.
    • Limited edition of 500 copies.
    • "A Nice Place to Visit: But They Won't Let You Stay There" is an art portfolio which consists of the individually named items on pp. 13-18. This includes 6 pieces of art by "Cabbie" (by signature, "Cabby" in the issue credits). That art is specifically relevant to the title, so we credit this portfolio to her. The song "Legendary Korm" and poem "If I Were God" are uncredited, but probably by her as well.
    • The art for "Quest for Life", by the author, consists of drawings on both pages 24 and 29. The one on p. 29 has a separate title, so we list it as such, but it is a character in that story.
    • The "interior" art listed on p. 34 is the back cover, and is titled "Symbol".
