The Acolyte 1942-46 ALL 14 Issues RARE 11" X 8.5" The Acolyte was a science fiction fanzine edited by Francis Towner Laney from 1942 to 1946 (a total of 14 issues), dedicated to articles about fantasy fiction, with particular emphasis on H. P. Lovecraft and his circle. (Laney's essay, "The Cthulhu Mythology: A Glossary", initially published in the Winter 1942 issue, was expanded at the request of August Derleth and became part of the 1943 Arkham House Lovecraft anthology Beyond the Wall of Sleep.) Later issues were co-edited and published by Samuel D. Russell. Contributors included Clark Ashton Smith and Donald Wandrei. The first two issues were hectographed, the remainder were mimeographed. All in very good condition, some issues have light oxidization at staples, light corner tip and edge wear, very few and minimal tears along edges, see as pictured
