A Lin Carter Cartoon

A Lin Carter cartoon from between 1948 and 1952, by my best guess. I think, based on the subject, it could have been from his Korean Conflict period.

_____

Howdy podner: Feb FA {February 1951 Vol. 4 #6 Fantasy Advertiser} came, and pretty good it is, even without any of my articles or pix (this is a subtle hint). Coblentz had a middlin' interesting article: he should have given examples. I rather liked Clarke's long, rambling essay. - - cover this issue not-so-hot. This is Roy Hunt? Ghaa. Nothing to it, nothing new, fresh, original, just a f*cking comet moving by something-or-other. Let's see Grossman or somebody. Neil Austin. --Aristrom's pic on pg. 8 veddy {sic} good. -- Are you sure that double-spread out on pgs 17-18 isn't a set for Destination You-kno-What? Looks muchly like it, but according to what I understand, it's something from Galactic Pat. -- NEWS ITEM: I is jest been drafted. Report for physical Feb. 9th. Louses up my plans for my fanzine, but hope to have my first privately-pubbed collection of poems out before I go. will have an advert for you soon. How much is a full-pager, six$? Nice ish {issue}.Lin Carter.

First Post

Through a series of events, I crossed paths on ebay of a cache of Linwood Carter's early items. These items date from his high school years (probably 9th grade) anward to his years in Korea and early fanzine years (about 1954).

I was only able to obtain minimal information, but it seems a "flea market" or estate styled trader obtained these items and put them up on ebay.

An enormous number of images were posted over several months, and sold off one at a time.

I obtained a very few precious items. The rest were stored electronically.
