Futuria Fantasia, Fall 1939

by Ray Bradbury

"Futuria Fantasia, Fall 1939" by Ray Bradbury is a science fiction fanzine published in 1939. Created when Bradbury was only eighteen, this ambitious magazine brought together emerging talents of science fiction's golden age. Despite financial struggles that limited its run to just four issues, the fanzine featured contributions from future legends including Henry Kuttner, Damon Knight, and Robert A. Heinlein. This Fall 1939 issue contains Bradbury's anonymous story "The Pendulum," which became the foundation for his first professional publication.
