"Although a comparatively young man Max B. Miller has put in a world of objective flying saucer research since he first became interested in the phenomena in 1947. He founded Flying Saucers International in 1952 and still operates it as a non-profit investigative unit, delving into all facets of Unidentified Flying Objects. Exhaustive research findings are dispensed to the public through the quarterly publication "Saucers" which is believed to have one of the largest circulations of its kind in the world. Currently Miller holds memberships in many local and overseas UFO and space groups including: The British Interplanetary Society, Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers, The Meteoritical Society, Civilian Saucer Intelligence of New Zealand and associate member of the American Rocket Society."
About the Author:
Max Briant Miller (February 23, 1937 – January 17, 2011) was an American journalist, photographer and film producer. His 1976 film Youthquake! won the Golden Globe Award for Best Documentary Film at the 33rd Golden Globe Awards.
His father was producer and inventor Max O. Miller. He attended Los Angeles Valley College, UCLA, and Sherwood Oaks College.
He became interested in UFOs as a boy and in 1952, at the age of 15, founded the UFO research group Flying Saucers International and served as the editor of its quarterly magazine Saucers. He was the author of two books on UFOs: Flying Saucers: Fact Or Fiction? (1957) and Flying Saucers Pictorial (1967).
Miller wrote about cinema for American Cinematographer and other publications, and since 1976 he owned and managed the LA based celebrity photo syndication agency Fotos International. Since 1974 his images had been represented by Rex Features in London and Keystone Press Agency in Canada. Also with Pictorial Parade, Archive Photos, and Image Bank which are now part of Getty Images.
A longtime Hollywood Foreign Press Association member, Miller served on their board from 1974 to 1982, and became chairman of the HFPA board in 1976 as well as a second term.
Miller committed suicide by gun the day after the 68th Golden Globe Awards. According to TV Guide, "Miller was depressed over his divorce and financial problems." Several obituaries noted that Miller's photography company was denied a place on the red carpet at that year's Golden Globes, where he had been a member for 44 years.
From an online obituary by Brad Elterman – Buzz Foto: “I met Max Miller around 1975 I when I was a teenager just getting into the photo industry. This was a magical period to be photographer covering Hollywood and pop culture. Max was full of stories about real movie stars and I was all ears. He was a pioneer in photo syndication who traveled the globe and knew the industry well. Fotos International and his wonderful number one photographer Frank Edwards covered every inch of Hollywood. Max was on the guest list for everything and magazines published volumes of his photos every week. With many of the great publicists and fellow celebrity photographer now gone, I assume that the business had changed for Max during the last few years. He came from an era where the talent, the publicist and the magazines would treat the photographer with great respect. Not only has the photo industry lost Max, but also the end of a great era.”
It's a complete cover-to-cover scan in .cbr format of the 1973 Playboy Press oversized trade paperback revised edition of Playboy's Gahan Wilson by Gahan Wilson.
About the scan: The original scan was beautifully scanned at 600dpi but had pages which were only 1280 pixels wide that didn't load up full width in Comic Book Reader.
As an experiment, I used IrfanView and created a version with larger pages (a width of 2264 pixels) which seemed to have no degradation in quality and a file size of 159 MB.
Take a look at it and see how it looks on whatever device you use to read books.
I also made a smaller version with a page width of 1365 pixels wide and a file size of 78.9 MB. If you'd rather have the smaller version, let me know.

Playboy's Gahan Wilson. By Gahan Wilson (Playboy Press 38580-099) (New York: Playboy Press, 1973) (Revised edition) (128 pages) (Cover art by Gahan Wilson) (Dregs) {CBR} (159 MB)

Playboy's Gahan Wilson is a collection of Gahan Wilson's cartoons from Playboy magazine. It was first published in an oversized trade paperback format in 1973 by Playboy Press with a cover price of $2.50.
This is a scan of a later, revised edition (which bears only the original copyright date of 1973), with a cover price of $3.25. And even though Playboy charged a higher price for it, the revised edition (220 cartoons, 120 in color) had fewer cartoons than the First Edition (280 cartoons, 145 in color) and fewer pages (128 pages) than the First Edition (160 pages).
From the front cover:
"More Than 220 Cartoons -- 120 In Full Color. From Playboy's Mirthful Master Of The Macabre."
About The Author:
Gahan Wilson (born February 18, 1930) is an American author, cartoonist and illustrator known for his cartoons depicting horror-fantasy situations.
Wilson was born in Evanston, Illinois. He has been married to author Nancy Winters (née Nancy Dee Midyette) since 1966.
Wilson's cartoons and illustrations are drawn in a playfully grotesque style and have a dark humor that is often compared to the work of The New Yorker cartoonist and Addams Family creator Charles Addams. But while both feature vampires, cemeteries and other traditional horror elements in their work, Addams' cartoons are gothic, reserved and old-fashioned, while Wilson's work is more contemporary, gross and confrontational, featuring atomic mutants, subway monsters and serial killers. It could be argued that Addams' work was probably meant to be funny without a lot of satirical intent, while Wilson often has a very specific point to make.
Wilson was inspired by the irreverent work of the various satiric Mad and Punch cartoonists, as well as the science fiction monster films of the 1950s. His cartoons and prose fiction have appeared regularly in magazines such as Playboy, Collier's, and The New Yorker for almost 50 years. In addition to his cartoons for The Magazine Of Fantasy & Science Fiction, he also wrote movie and book reviews for that publication. From 1992 through end of publication, he prepared all the front covers for the annual book Passport To World Band Radio. He has been a movie review columnist for The Twilight Zone Magazine and a book critic for Realms Of Fantasy magazine.
His comic strip Nuts, which appeared in National Lampoon, was a reaction against what he saw as the saccharine view of childhood in strips like Peanuts. His hero, The Kid, sees the world as dark, dangerous and unfair—but also occasionally a fun place.
Wilson wrote and illustrated a short story for Harlan Ellison's anthology Again, Dangerous Visions (1972). The "title" is a black blob, and the story is about an ominous black blob that appears on the page, growing at an alarming rate. He has contributed short stories to other publications as well; "M1" and "The Zombie Butler" both appeared in The Magazine Of Fantasy & Science Fiction and were reprinted in Gahan Wilson's Cracked Cosmos (1975).
Wilson created a computer game, Gahan Wilson's The Ultimate Haunted House, with Byron Preiss. The goal is to collect 13 keys in 13 hours from the 13 rooms of a house by interacting in various ways with characters (two-headed monster, mad scientist, vampiress), objects and the house itself.
Wilson wrote the 1992 animated short Diner.
In 2009, Fantagraphics Books released Gahan Wilson: 50 Years Of Playboy Cartoons, a slipcased, three-volume collection of Wilson's cartoons and short stories for that magazine. A collection of his work, Fifty Years Of Gahan Wilson, was published in 2010. Fantagraphics published a "complete" edition of Nuts in October 2011.
In 2005, Wilson was recognized with Lifetime Achievement from the World Fantasy Awards. He received the World Fantasy Convention Award in 1981 and the National Cartoonists Society's Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005.
Wilson is the subject of a feature-length documentary film, Gahan Wilson: Born Dead, Still Weird, directed by Steven-Charles Jaffe.
He was an influence on later alternative cartoonists, including Gary Larson, John Callahan and Bill Plympton.

Click's Cartoon Annual 1940 is a collection of cartoons from the first two years of Click magazine. Much of the humor is decidedly politically incorrect by today's standards and could be viewed as just a wee bit sexist.

About Click magazine:
Click was a tabloid magazine which was owned and operated by Moses ["Moe"] Louis Annenberg (1877-1942), owner of Triangle Publications and publisher of the The Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper. The name "Triangle" referred to his three most lucrative holdings, Nationwide Racing News Service, The Daily Racing Form, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Triangle Publications also produced Detective & Murder Mysteries, Official Detective, Quick, The Radio Guide, and Screen Guide. When Triangle first published Screen Guide, Moses Annenberg sought to boost circulation by featuring sensational nude photographs of pin-up models, for which the magazine was banned in several States and Canada.
In 1937 Triangle published Click Magazine, which was fashioned after Look and Life, but unlike those magazines also featured occasional nude pin-ups along with sensationally gruesome photographs of sex crime scenes. The editor Emile Gauvreau (1891-1956) later recalled, "I was part of that strange race of people aptly described as spending their lives doing things they detest to make money they don't want to buy things they don't need to impress people they don't like."
On August 11, 1939 the same District Attorney and Federal Judge who had historically convicted Al Capone of tax evasion, brought similar charges against Moses Annenberg.
On April 20, 1940 Moses Annenberg was convicted to serve three years in Federal prison and to pay a fine of $8,000,000, which was the largest such penalty in U.S. history.
Before incarceration he installed his son Walter Annenberg (1908-2002) as business successor to assure smooth continuity to the operation of his vast empire.
On December 7, 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor an America went to war. Joseph Ottenstein spearheaded a public relations campaign to demand the release of Moses Annenberg on patriotic grounds, "In this war period he would be serving the country better at his desk as publisher of his big Philadelphia newspaper than in prison."
Moses Annenberg's health declined to an extreme extent, while serving his three-year sentence in Lewisburg Pennsylvania State Prison, until doctors urged his early release for medical treatment on June 3, 1942. He traveled to the Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis for an emergency brain operation.
Moses Annenberg died at the age of sixty-five on July 20, 1942.
His son Walter Annenberg lead Triangle Publications to even greater prosperity and became one of America's most outstanding charitable and political donors, by which leverage he forged advantageous connections to Republican Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush.

The Usual Disclaimer: This EPUB is not my work, so I can't vouch for the proofreading. If there should be errors in spelling, punctuation, or any other anomalies, I apologize, but please do not blame me!

This was the third in a series of "Evergreen Review" readers that covers the span of the magazine's existence. This volume anthologizes its final years and features contributions by J. G.

Evergreen Review was a U.S.-based literary magazine, known for its experimental fiction, which was founded by Barney Rosset, publisher of Grove Press. It existed in print from 1957 through 1973, and was re-launched online in 1998. It began as a quarterly in a trade paperback format (not unlike so many other literary quarterlies of the day), later changing into a full-sized, glossy magazine, and finally to a mass-market paperback format.
This is a scan of the final issue (and the only issue to my knowledge which has been scanned). It includes a reprint of a story by J. G. Ballard and an article which discusses Ballard's fiction and reviews his book Love & Napalm: Export U.S.A. (which was published in 1972 by Grove Press).
From the back cover:
"INSIDE THIS ISSUE:
THE LOST ONES, the first work of longer fiction by Samuel Beckett to be published since he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. Writes Joseph McElroy in The New York Times Book Review: "Beckett's work continues to be one of the signal modern ventures in concentrated attention. THE LOST ONES suggests even more warmly what a great writer Beckett is."
Is Yevgeny Yevtushenko really the knight in shining armor of Soviet Liberalism, or does he serve some other, more devious purpose? Dotson Rader punctures the myth of the latest darling of American Liberalism.
Writing about black artists and entertainers has become big business--for white writers, that is. But they all miss the point, says Cecil Brown, in an interview with Aretha Franklin.
'Dear Hef: That's a pretty spastic operation you got going at Bunny Heaven in Great Gorge, where you pay guys to water the plastic bushes and a Playmate might even let you buy her a chocolate milk.' An eyewitness report from admirer Peter Tauber of Hefner's newest Playboy Club Hotel in New Jersey.
PLUS: fiction by J.G. Ballard and articles by Jerome Tarshis and Parker Tyler."

About Evergreen Review:
Evergreen Review debuted pivotal works by Samuel Beckett, Jorge Luis Borges, Charles Bukowski, William Burroughs, Marguerite Duras, Jean Genet, Allen Ginsberg, Gunter Grass, Jack Kerouac, Norman Mailer, Henry Miller, Pablo Neruda, Vladimir Nabokov, Frank O’Hara, Kenzaburo Oe, Octavio Paz, Harold Pinter, Susan Sontag, Tom Stoppard, Derek Walcott and Malcolm X. United States Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas wrote a controversial piece for the magazine in 1969. Kerouac and Ginsberg regularly had their writing published in the magazine.
Although primarily a literary magazine, Evergreen Review always contained numerous illustrations. In its early years, these included a small number of cartoons. By the mid-1960s, many illustrations and photographs were of an erotic nature, including a serialized graphic novel, The Adventures Of Phoebe Zeit-Geist by writer Michael O'Donoghue and artist Frank Springer. It was later published as a Grove Press hardcover in 1968 and trade paperback in 1969.
The first issue in 1957 featured an essay by Jean-Paul Sartre and an interview with the great New Orleans jazz drummer Baby Dodds. It also included a story of Samuel Beckett's Dante And The Lobster, the first of his many appearances in Evergreen's pages; these continued through the last issue published.
The second issue was a landmark. A banner across the cover declared "San Francisco Scene," and inside held the first collection of work by the new Beat writers - including Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure, Philip Whalen, Jack Kerouac (before the publication of On The Road and Allen Ginsberg, whose HOWL had already been published as a pamphlet by Ferlinghetti's press, City Lights, and was confiscated by customs officials and faced trial for obscenity in San Francisco. The issue brought the Beats and Evergreen Review to the forefront of the American stage. Subsequent issues presented some of the best and most provocative literary writing of the time; William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch was excerpted side by side with C. Wright Mills and a section from Paul Goodman's Growing Up Absurd; Edward Albee's first play, Zoo Story, appeared next to Camus' appeal against capital punishment; a portion of Jean Genet's Our Lady Of The Flowers ran in the same number as an essay by Octavio Paz. LeRoi Jones (Amirari Baraka), John Rechy, Robert Coover, Frank O' Hara, Richard Brautigan, Hubert Selby, Jr., Kenneth Koch, and Terry Southern were among those who appeared regularly.
As the fifties turned into the sixties, and the Beat Scene grew into the counterculture, Evergreen grew as well, always one step ahead of the pack. Timothy Leary, Abbie Hoffman, and the Fugs shared pages with Jack Kerouac, Mailer, Beckett, and Burroughs, and essays propounding psychedelic and Black Power appeared between cartoons by Tomi Ungerer, Kliban, and Sine. Michael O'Donoghue (later of National Lampoon and Saturday Night Live fame) became a regular contributor and created the classic commix satire Phoebe Zeit-Geist. Politics, sex, and art always went together. Then Hon. Gerald R. Ford denounced the magazine on the floor of Congress for printing a lampoon of Richard Nixon beside the photo of a nude. In 1968 Evergreen Review #51, featuring "The Spirit Of Che" and with a Paul Davis portrait of Che Guevera on the cover so inflamed anti-Castro Cubans that they bombed Evergreen offices.
Evergreen published writing that was literally counter to the culture, and if it was sexy, so much the better. In the context of the time, sex was politics, and the powers-that-be made the suppression of sexuality a political issue. The court battles that Grove Press fought for the legal publication of Lady Chatterly's Lover, Tropic Of Cancer, and Naked Lunch, and for the legal distribution of the film I Am Curious: Yellow, spilled onto the pages of Evergreen Review, and in 1964, an issue of Evergreen itself was confiscated in New York State by the Nassau County District Attorney on obscenity charges.
All of this was done on a shoestring budget by a tiny staff. Barney Rosset started the magazine with editor Don Allen and Fred Jordan, who was nominally the business manager in its early days. Richard Seaver joined the editorial team with the ninth issue, and Don Allen stepped back to become a contributing editor. Publication increased from quarterly to bimonthly to, in the late sixties, monthly, and the format changed from trade paperback to a full-sized, glossy magazine attaining a subscription base of some 40, 000 copies and a newsstand circulation of 1000,000. The final issue, number 96, came out in 1973. Evergreen was more than another literary magazine. It was the voice of a movement that helped to change the attitudes and prejudices of the culture at large through the language of art - and succeeded. It was always damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead.
The original Evergreen Review ceased publication in 1973, but the magazine was revived in 1998 in an online edition edited by founder Barney Rosset and Astrid Rosset. The online edition features flashbacks to previous Evergreen Review editions, as well as debuts by contemporary writers such as Dennis Nurkse, Giannina Braschi, and Regina Dereiva.

Sata Illustrated #12 [1960-05.William E. Pearson] [The Official Quarterly Satanic Bulletin!] (28 pages) (Front cover art by George Barr; back cover by Ray Capella) (FIXED) {CBR} (28.3 MB)
https://mega.nz/#!4Y0FiTYQ!M6MY34bvjcQtXrHhNC8SRkSc1B-HTJrK34VAmtKi1dk
Sata Illustrated was a science fiction fanzine by Bill Pearson and Dan Adkins. It was published first by Dan Adkins (when he was in the Air Force and was base illustrator and was bored…) and then by Bill Pearson and Dan Adkins and later by Bill Pearson alone.
The first issue appeared in 1956. It was reproduced using a ditto machine. Sata featured weird fiction, comics, and illustrations, with an emphasis on lots of Illustrations, since both editors were artists. After 6 issues had been released Adkins left the zine and Pearson carried on without him. 15 issues were released, the last in February 1964.
Contributors included Richard Bassford, Roger Benson, Roger Brand, Ray Capella, Tom Conroy, Alan Dodd, Claude Hall, Roy Krenkel, and others.
Fiction was by Bob Leman, Charles L. Morris, and Bob Warner, among others. Articles were by Larry Shaw among others.
Artwork was contributed by Esmond Adams, George Barr, Robert E. Gilbert, Larry Ivie, Ken Kellard, Bill Pearson, Andy Reiss, and others.
Letters came from Harvey Kurtzman, among others.
On his website, Steve Stiles writes; "Perhaps few people remember Dan's activities in s.f. fanzine fandom, but in the late fifties he and Bill Pearson were producing the most attractive dittoed fanzine, Sata Illustrated, that I've ever seen --a fanzine that was instrumental in getting me into fandom."

Ace 88870. The Wild Shore. By Kim Stanley Robinson (The New Ace Science Fiction Specials #1) (New York: Ace Science Fiction Books, 1984) (viii, [ii], 371 pages) (Cover art by Andrea Baruffi) {PDF} (39.9 MB)
https://mega.nz/#!IAVyAAib!czbgAI7O2olnnTAu7zJ-GUmQSNhEFtoEJWXSAZqwZX8
The Wild Shore was Kim Stanley Robinson's first novel and the first volume in his "Orange County" post-apocalyptic trilogy. It was originally published in paperback in March 1984 by Ace Books as the inaugural volume in its new series of Ace Science Fiction Specials, edited by Terry Carr.
From Locus:
"The Wild Shore (Ace 0-441-88870-4, Mar ’84 [Feb ’84], $2.95, 371pp, pb) [Orange County] Sf novel, first of the revived Ace Science Fiction Specials edited by Terry Carr. A first novel. Slow but excellently written post-holocaust California coast novel. (EAL)"
From the back cover:
"Seventeen-year-old Henry wanted to help make America great again [Gee that sounds familiar - now where have I heard that line before?], like it had been sixty years ago, before all the bombs went off: But for the people of Onofre Valley just surviving was challenge enough. Then one day the world came to Henry in the shape of two men who said they represented the American Resistance ..."
"For several years now I've been calling Robinson one of the most promising young writers in our field or any other. When The Wild Shore appears, I'll have to drop those patronizing words young and promising; it will be evident then to everyone who has the pleasure of reading it that he is simply one of our best writers." —Gene Wolfe.
"We are witnessing the emergence of a powerful new talent." —Damon Knight.
The Ace Science Fiction Specials are a fifteen-year-old tradition with us; under the brilliant editorship of Terry Carr, the line is dedicated to publishing the best in Science Fiction. The original Specials included The Left Hand Of Darkness and Isle Of The Dead—now meet the superstars of the future, in the New Ace Science Fiction Specials."
About The Author:

About The Editor:
Thaddeus Maxim Eugene (Ted) Dikty (June 16, 1920 – October 11, 1991) was an editor who also played a role as one of the earliest science fiction anthologists, and as a publisher.
In 1947, Dikty joined Shasta Publishers as managing editor. With E. F. Bleiler he started the first "Best of the Year" science fiction anthologies, called The Best Science Fiction, which ran from 1949 until 1957.
In 1953, he married writer Julian May, whom he had met at a science fiction convention in Ohio. Both of them worked for Chicago-area publishers; in 1957 the two started Publication Associates, an editorial service which created books (from writing to completion of bound copies) for specialty children's publishers who sold primarily to the school and library markets: May did the writing, and Dikty served as designer and producer. In the early 1970s Dikty and partners started a small press, FAX Collector's Editions, which reprinted selected pulp-era (and earlier) SF stories and novels, and had some commercial success with reprints of work by Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan the Barbarian).
In 1976, after the family had moved to West Linn, Oregon, Dikty founded the specialty publisher Starmont House, which published non-fiction about the science fiction field. At the time of his death in 1991 at the age of 71, Dikty and May had moved in Mercer Island, Washington; his daughter, Barbara Dikty, had already been made President of Starmont House, Inc. by then.
In September 2013, he was posthumously named to the First Fandom Hall of Fame in a ceremony at the 71st World Science Fiction Convention.

"Although a comparatively young man Max B. Miller has put in a world of objective flying saucer research since he first became interested in the phenomena in 1947. He founded Flying Saucers International in 1952 and still operates it as a non-profit investigative unit, delving into all facets of Unidentified Flying Objects. Exhaustive research findings are dispensed to the public through the quarterly publication "Saucers" which is believed to have one of the largest circulations of its kind in the world. Currently Miller holds memberships in many local and overseas UFO and space groups including: The British Interplanetary Society, Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers, The Meteoritical Society, Civilian Saucer Intelligence of New Zealand and associate member of the American Rocket Society."
About the Author:
Max Briant Miller (February 23, 1937 – January 17, 2011) was an American journalist, photographer and film producer. His 1976 film Youthquake! won the Golden Globe Award for Best Documentary Film at the 33rd Golden Globe Awards.
His father was producer and inventor Max O. Miller. He attended Los Angeles Valley College, UCLA, and Sherwood Oaks College.
He became interested in UFOs as a boy and in 1952, at the age of 15, founded the UFO research group Flying Saucers International and served as the editor of its quarterly magazine Saucers. He was the author of two books on UFOs: Flying Saucers: Fact Or Fiction? (1957) and Flying Saucers Pictorial (1967).
Miller wrote about cinema for American Cinematographer and other publications, and since 1976 he owned and managed the LA based celebrity photo syndication agency Fotos International. Since 1974 his images had been represented by Rex Features in London and Keystone Press Agency in Canada. Also with Pictorial Parade, Archive Photos, and Image Bank which are now part of Getty Images.
A longtime Hollywood Foreign Press Association member, Miller served on their board from 1974 to 1982, and became chairman of the HFPA board in 1976 as well as a second term.
Miller committed suicide by gun the day after the 68th Golden Globe Awards. According to TV Guide, "Miller was depressed over his divorce and financial problems." Several obituaries noted that Miller's photography company was denied a place on the red carpet at that year's Golden Globes, where he had been a member for 44 years.
From an online obituary by Brad Elterman – Buzz Foto: “I met Max Miller around 1975 I when I was a teenager just getting into the photo industry. This was a magical period to be photographer covering Hollywood and pop culture. Max was full of stories about real movie stars and I was all ears. He was a pioneer in photo syndication who traveled the globe and knew the industry well. Fotos International and his wonderful number one photographer Frank Edwards covered every inch of Hollywood. Max was on the guest list for everything and magazines published volumes of his photos every week. With many of the great publicists and fellow celebrity photographer now gone, I assume that the business had changed for Max during the last few years. He came from an era where the talent, the publicist and the magazines would treat the photographer with great respect. Not only has the photo industry lost Max, but also the end of a great era.”

Playboy's Gahan Wilson. By Gahan Wilson (Playboy Press 38580-099) (New York: Playboy Press, 1973) (Revised edition) (128 pages) (Cover art by Gahan Wilson) (Dregs) {CBR} (159 MB)
https://mega.nz/#!x9t1RYYC!NYSxCtcyUsH5d_pHTl5NwVO9YP8Zt_Z09e5Dd1uElk0
Playboy's Gahan Wilson is a collection of Gahan Wilson's cartoons from Playboy magazine. It was first published in an oversized trade paperback format in 1973 by Playboy Press with a cover price of $2.50.
This is a scan of a later, revised edition (which bears only the original copyright date of 1973), with a cover price of $3.25. And even though Playboy charged a higher price for it, the revised edition (220 cartoons, 120 in color) had fewer cartoons than the First Edition (280 cartoons, 145 in color) and fewer pages (128 pages) than the First Edition (160 pages).
From the front cover:
"More Than 220 Cartoons -- 120 In Full Color. From Playboy's Mirthful Master Of The Macabre."
About The Author:
Gahan Wilson (born February 18, 1930) is an American author, cartoonist and illustrator known for his cartoons depicting horror-fantasy situations.
Wilson was born in Evanston, Illinois. He has been married to author Nancy Winters (née Nancy Dee Midyette) since 1966.
Wilson's cartoons and illustrations are drawn in a playfully grotesque style and have a dark humor that is often compared to the work of The New Yorker cartoonist and Addams Family creator Charles Addams. But while both feature vampires, cemeteries and other traditional horror elements in their work, Addams' cartoons are gothic, reserved and old-fashioned, while Wilson's work is more contemporary, gross and confrontational, featuring atomic mutants, subway monsters and serial killers. It could be argued that Addams' work was probably meant to be funny without a lot of satirical intent, while Wilson often has a very specific point to make.
Wilson was inspired by the irreverent work of the various satiric Mad and Punch cartoonists, as well as the science fiction monster films of the 1950s. His cartoons and prose fiction have appeared regularly in magazines such as Playboy, Collier's, and The New Yorker for almost 50 years. In addition to his cartoons for The Magazine Of Fantasy & Science Fiction, he also wrote movie and book reviews for that publication. From 1992 through end of publication, he prepared all the front covers for the annual book Passport To World Band Radio. He has been a movie review columnist for The Twilight Zone Magazine and a book critic for Realms Of Fantasy magazine.
His comic strip Nuts, which appeared in National Lampoon, was a reaction against what he saw as the saccharine view of childhood in strips like Peanuts. His hero, The Kid, sees the world as dark, dangerous and unfair—but also occasionally a fun place.
Wilson wrote and illustrated a short story for Harlan Ellison's anthology Again, Dangerous Visions (1972). The "title" is a black blob, and the story is about an ominous black blob that appears on the page, growing at an alarming rate. He has contributed short stories to other publications as well; "M1" and "The Zombie Butler" both appeared in The Magazine Of Fantasy & Science Fiction and were reprinted in Gahan Wilson's Cracked Cosmos (1975).
Wilson created a computer game, Gahan Wilson's The Ultimate Haunted House, with Byron Preiss. The goal is to collect 13 keys in 13 hours from the 13 rooms of a house by interacting in various ways with characters (two-headed monster, mad scientist, vampiress), objects and the house itself.
Wilson wrote the 1992 animated short Diner.
In 2009, Fantagraphics Books released Gahan Wilson: 50 Years Of Playboy Cartoons, a slipcased, three-volume collection of Wilson's cartoons and short stories for that magazine. A collection of his work, Fifty Years Of Gahan Wilson, was published in 2010. Fantagraphics published a "complete" edition of Nuts in October 2011.
In 2005, Wilson was recognized with Lifetime Achievement from the World Fantasy Awards. He received the World Fantasy Convention Award in 1981 and the National Cartoonists Society's Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005.
Wilson is the subject of a feature-length documentary film, Gahan Wilson: Born Dead, Still Weird, directed by Steven-Charles Jaffe.
He was an influence on later alternative cartoonists, including Gary Larson, John Callahan and Bill Plympton.

Click's Cartoon Annual 1940 is a collection of cartoons from the first two years of Click magazine. Much of the humor is decidedly politically incorrect by today's standards and could be viewed as just a wee bit sexist.
From the front cover:

About Click magazine:
Click was a tabloid magazine which was owned and operated by Moses ["Moe"] Louis Annenberg (1877-1942), owner of Triangle Publications and publisher of the The Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper. The name "Triangle" referred to his three most lucrative holdings, Nationwide Racing News Service, The Daily Racing Form, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Triangle Publications also produced Detective & Murder Mysteries, Official Detective, Quick, The Radio Guide, and Screen Guide. When Triangle first published Screen Guide, Moses Annenberg sought to boost circulation by featuring sensational nude photographs of pin-up models, for which the magazine was banned in several States and Canada.
In 1937 Triangle published Click Magazine, which was fashioned after Look and Life, but unlike those magazines also featured occasional nude pin-ups along with sensationally gruesome photographs of sex crime scenes. The editor Emile Gauvreau (1891-1956) later recalled, "I was part of that strange race of people aptly described as spending their lives doing things they detest to make money they don't want to buy things they don't need to impress people they don't like."
On August 11, 1939 the same District Attorney and Federal Judge who had historically convicted Al Capone of tax evasion, brought similar charges against Moses Annenberg.
On April 20, 1940 Moses Annenberg was convicted to serve three years in Federal prison and to pay a fine of $8,000,000, which was the largest such penalty in U.S. history.
Before incarceration he installed his son Walter Annenberg (1908-2002) as business successor to assure smooth continuity to the operation of his vast empire.
On December 7, 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor an America went to war. Joseph Ottenstein spearheaded a public relations campaign to demand the release of Moses Annenberg on patriotic grounds, "In this war period he would be serving the country better at his desk as publisher of his big Philadelphia newspaper than in prison."
Moses Annenberg's health declined to an extreme extent, while serving his three-year sentence in Lewisburg Pennsylvania State Prison, until doctors urged his early release for medical treatment on June 3, 1942. He traveled to the Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis for an emergency brain operation.
Moses Annenberg died at the age of sixty-five on July 20, 1942.
His son Walter Annenberg lead Triangle Publications to even greater prosperity and became one of America's most outstanding charitable and political donors, by which leverage he forged advantageous connections to Republican Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush.

The Usual Disclaimer: This EPUB is not my work, so I can't vouch for the proofreading. If there should be errors in spelling, punctuation, or any other anomalies, I apologize, but please do not blame me! The final story, "A Trip To Hell" by Kathy Acker, ends mid-sentence - whether this was the author's intent or the fault of the creator of this EPUB, I don't know.
This was the third in a series of "Evergreen Review" readers that covers the span of the magazine's existence. This volume anthologizes its final years and features contributions by J. G. Ballard, Samuel Beckett, William S. Burroughs, Pablo Neruda, Susan Sontag, Allen Ginsberg, Octavio Paz, and many others.

Evergreen Review was a U.S.-based literary magazine, known for its experimental fiction, which was founded by Barney Rosset, publisher of Grove Press. It existed in print from 1957 through 1973, and was re-launched online in 1998. It began as a quarterly in a trade paperback format (not unlike so many other literary quarterlies of the day), later changing into a full-sized, glossy magazine, and finally to a mass-market paperback format.
This is a scan of the final issue (and the only issue to my knowledge which has been scanned). It includes a reprint of a story by J. G. Ballard and an article which discusses Ballard's fiction and reviews his book Love & Napalm: Export U.S.A. (which was published in 1972 by Grove Press).
From the back cover:
"INSIDE THIS ISSUE:
THE LOST ONES, the first work of longer fiction by Samuel Beckett to be published since he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. Writes Joseph McElroy in The New York Times Book Review: "Beckett's work continues to be one of the signal modern ventures in concentrated attention. THE LOST ONES suggests even more warmly what a great writer Beckett is."
Is Yevgeny Yevtushenko really the knight in shining armor of Soviet Liberalism, or does he serve some other, more devious purpose? Dotson Rader punctures the myth of the latest darling of American Liberalism.
Writing about black artists and entertainers has become big business--for white writers, that is. But they all miss the point, says Cecil Brown, in an interview with Aretha Franklin.
'Dear Hef: That's a pretty spastic operation you got going at Bunny Heaven in Great Gorge, where you pay guys to water the plastic bushes and a Playmate might even let you buy her a chocolate milk.' An eyewitness report from admirer Peter Tauber of Hefner's newest Playboy Club Hotel in New Jersey.
PLUS: fiction by J.G. Ballard and articles by Jerome Tarshis and Parker Tyler."

About Evergreen Review:
Evergreen Review debuted pivotal works by Samuel Beckett, Jorge Luis Borges, Charles Bukowski, William Burroughs, Marguerite Duras, Jean Genet, Allen Ginsberg, Gunter Grass, Jack Kerouac, Norman Mailer, Henry Miller, Pablo Neruda, Vladimir Nabokov, Frank O’Hara, Kenzaburo Oe, Octavio Paz, Harold Pinter, Susan Sontag, Tom Stoppard, Derek Walcott and Malcolm X. United States Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas wrote a controversial piece for the magazine in 1969. Kerouac and Ginsberg regularly had their writing published in the magazine.
Although primarily a literary magazine, Evergreen Review always contained numerous illustrations. In its early years, these included a small number of cartoons. By the mid-1960s, many illustrations and photographs were of an erotic nature, including a serialized graphic novel, The Adventures Of Phoebe Zeit-Geist by writer Michael O'Donoghue and artist Frank Springer. It was later published as a Grove Press hardcover in 1968 and trade paperback in 1969.
The first issue in 1957 featured an essay by Jean-Paul Sartre and an interview with the great New Orleans jazz drummer Baby Dodds. It also included a story of Samuel Beckett's Dante And The Lobster, the first of his many appearances in Evergreen's pages; these continued through the last issue published.
The second issue was a landmark. A banner across the cover declared "San Francisco Scene," and inside held the first collection of work by the new Beat writers - including Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure, Philip Whalen, Jack Kerouac (before the publication of On The Road and Allen Ginsberg, whose HOWL had already been published as a pamphlet by Ferlinghetti's press, City Lights, and was confiscated by customs officials and faced trial for obscenity in San Francisco. The issue brought the Beats and Evergreen Review to the forefront of the American stage. Subsequent issues presented some of the best and most provocative literary writing of the time; William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch was excerpted side by side with C. Wright Mills and a section from Paul Goodman's Growing Up Absurd; Edward Albee's first play, Zoo Story, appeared next to Camus' appeal against capital punishment; a portion of Jean Genet's Our Lady Of The Flowers ran in the same number as an essay by Octavio Paz. LeRoi Jones (Amirari Baraka), John Rechy, Robert Coover, Frank O' Hara, Richard Brautigan, Hubert Selby, Jr., Kenneth Koch, and Terry Southern were among those who appeared regularly.
As the fifties turned into the sixties, and the Beat Scene grew into the counterculture, Evergreen grew as well, always one step ahead of the pack. Timothy Leary, Abbie Hoffman, and the Fugs shared pages with Jack Kerouac, Mailer, Beckett, and Burroughs, and essays propounding psychedelic and Black Power appeared between cartoons by Tomi Ungerer, Kliban, and Sine. Michael O'Donoghue (later of National Lampoon and Saturday Night Live fame) became a regular contributor and created the classic commix satire Phoebe Zeit-Geist. Politics, sex, and art always went together. Then Hon. Gerald R. Ford denounced the magazine on the floor of Congress for printing a lampoon of Richard Nixon beside the photo of a nude. In 1968 Evergreen Review #51, featuring "The Spirit Of Che" and with a Paul Davis portrait of Che Guevera on the cover so inflamed anti-Castro Cubans that they bombed Evergreen offices.
Evergreen published writing that was literally counter to the culture, and if it was sexy, so much the better. In the context of the time, sex was politics, and the powers-that-be made the suppression of sexuality a political issue. The court battles that Grove Press fought for the legal publication of Lady Chatterly's Lover, Tropic Of Cancer, and Naked Lunch, and for the legal distribution of the film I Am Curious: Yellow, spilled onto the pages of Evergreen Review, and in 1964, an issue of Evergreen itself was confiscated in New York State by the Nassau County District Attorney on obscenity charges.
All of this was done on a shoestring budget by a tiny staff. Barney Rosset started the magazine with editor Don Allen and Fred Jordan, who was nominally the business manager in its early days. Richard Seaver joined the editorial team with the ninth issue, and Don Allen stepped back to become a contributing editor. Publication increased from quarterly to bimonthly to, in the late sixties, monthly, and the format changed from trade paperback to a full-sized, glossy magazine attaining a subscription base of some 40, 000 copies and a newsstand circulation of 1000,000. The final issue, number 96, came out in 1973. Evergreen was more than another literary magazine. It was the voice of a movement that helped to change the attitudes and prejudices of the culture at large through the language of art - and succeeded. It was always damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead.
The original Evergreen Review ceased publication in 1973, but the magazine was revived in 1998 in an online edition edited by founder Barney Rosset and Astrid Rosset. The online edition features flashbacks to previous Evergreen Review editions, as well as debuts by contemporary writers such as Dennis Nurkse, Giannina Braschi, and Regina Dereiva.

Sata Illustrated #12 [1960-05.William E. Pearson] [The Official Quarterly Satanic Bulletin!] (28 pages) (Front cover art by George Barr; back cover by Ray Capella) (FIXED) {CBR} (28.3 MB)
https://mega.nz/#!4Y0FiTYQ!M6MY34bvjcQtXrHhNC8SRkSc1B-HTJrK34VAmtKi1dk
Sata Illustrated was a science fiction fanzine by Bill Pearson and Dan Adkins. It was published first by Dan Adkins (when he was in the Air Force and was base illustrator and was bored…) and then by Bill Pearson and Dan Adkins and later by Bill Pearson alone.
The first issue appeared in 1956. It was reproduced using a ditto machine. Sata featured weird fiction, comics, and illustrations, with an emphasis on lots of Illustrations, since both editors were artists. After 6 issues had been released Adkins left the zine and Pearson carried on without him. 15 issues were released, the last in February 1964.
Contributors included Richard Bassford, Roger Benson, Roger Brand, Ray Capella, Tom Conroy, Alan Dodd, Claude Hall, Roy Krenkel, and others.
Fiction was by Bob Leman, Charles L. Morris, and Bob Warner, among others. Articles were by Larry Shaw among others.
Artwork was contributed by Esmond Adams, George Barr, Robert E. Gilbert, Larry Ivie, Ken Kellard, Bill Pearson, Andy Reiss, and others.
Letters came from Harvey Kurtzman, among others.
On his website, Steve Stiles writes; "Perhaps few people remember Dan's activities in s.f. fanzine fandom, but in the late fifties he and Bill Pearson were producing the most attractive dittoed fanzine, Sata Illustrated, that I've ever seen --a fanzine that was instrumental in getting me into fandom."

Ace 88870. The Wild Shore. By Kim Stanley Robinson (The New Ace Science Fiction Specials #1) (New York: Ace Science Fiction Books, 1984) (viii, [ii], 371 pages) (Cover art by Andrea Baruffi) {PDF} (39.9 MB)
https://mega.nz/#!IAVyAAib!czbgAI7O2olnnTAu7zJ-GUmQSNhEFtoEJWXSAZqwZX8
The Wild Shore was Kim Stanley Robinson's first novel and the first volume in his "Orange County" post-apocalyptic trilogy. It was originally published in paperback in March 1984 by Ace Books as the inaugural volume in its new series of Ace Science Fiction Specials, edited by Terry Carr.
From Locus:
"The Wild Shore (Ace 0-441-88870-4, Mar ’84 [Feb ’84], $2.95, 371pp, pb) [Orange County] Sf novel, first of the revived Ace Science Fiction Specials edited by Terry Carr. A first novel. Slow but excellently written post-holocaust California coast novel. (EAL)"
From the back cover:
"Seventeen-year-old Henry wanted to help make America great again [Gee that sounds familiar - now where have I heard that line before?], like it had been sixty years ago, before all the bombs went off: But for the people of Onofre Valley just surviving was challenge enough. Then one day the world came to Henry in the shape of two men who said they represented the American Resistance ..."
"For several years now I've been calling Robinson one of the most promising young writers in our field or any other. When The Wild Shore appears, I'll have to drop those patronizing words young and promising; it will be evident then to everyone who has the pleasure of reading it that he is simply one of our best writers." —Gene Wolfe.
"We are witnessing the emergence of a powerful new talent." —Damon Knight.
The Ace Science Fiction Specials are a fifteen-year-old tradition with us; under the brilliant editorship of Terry Carr, the line is dedicated to publishing the best in Science Fiction. The original Specials included The Left Hand Of Darkness and Isle Of The Dead—now meet the superstars of the future, in the New Ace Science Fiction Specials."
About The Author:
Kim Stanley Robinson (born March 23, 1952) is an American writer of speculative science-fiction. He has published nineteen novels and numerous short stories but is best known for his Mars trilogy.

Robinson has won numerous awards including the Hugo Award for Best Novel, the Nebula Award for Best Novel and the World Fantasy Award. Robinson's work has been labeled by the Atlantic as "the gold-standard of realistic, and highly literary, science-fiction writing".

About The Editor:
Thaddeus Maxim Eugene (Ted) Dikty (June 16, 1920 – October 11, 1991) was an editor who also played a role as one of the earliest science fiction anthologists, and as a publisher.
In 1947, Dikty joined Shasta Publishers as managing editor. With E. F. Bleiler he started the first "Best of the Year" science fiction anthologies, called The Best Science Fiction, which ran from 1949 until 1957.
In 1953, he married writer Julian May, whom he had met at a science fiction convention in Ohio. Both of them worked for Chicago-area publishers; in 1957 the two started Publication Associates, an editorial service which created books (from writing to completion of bound copies) for specialty children's publishers who sold primarily to the school and library markets: May did the writing, and Dikty served as designer and producer. In the early 1970s Dikty and partners started a small press, FAX Collector's Editions, which reprinted selected pulp-era (and earlier) SF stories and novels, and had some commercial success with reprints of work by Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan the Barbarian).
In 1976, after the family had moved to West Linn, Oregon, Dikty founded the specialty publisher Starmont House, which published non-fiction about the science fiction field. At the time of his death in 1991 at the age of 71, Dikty and May had moved in Mercer Island, Washington; his daughter, Barbara Dikty, had already been made President of Starmont House, Inc. by then.
In September 2013, he was posthumously named to the First Fandom Hall of Fame in a ceremony at the 71st World Science Fiction Convention.
