Ken Meyer, Jr.’s Ink Stains 2: Al Williamson, Berni Wrightson, Frazetta and More!

Posted on by

If you’re a fan of fanzines, then you’ve got to check out Ken Meyer, Jr.’s monthly column Ink Stains.  Each month Ken (who is an amazing artist) posts… well, let’s let Ken explain…

I have a collection of over 200 fanzines from the 60’s-80’s that I plan to scan and talk about, one at a time. I hope to have some of the participants answer a few questions. Many of those participants are established comics professionals now, while some have gone on to other things. I will show a few snippets from each zine and give you a link to download a pdf of the whole thing, which I hope all of you will do!

For Ink Stains 2, Ken took a look at Squa Tront #2 from September 1968 published by Jerry Weist.  The issue featured an Al Williamson cover and sketch portfolio, a profile of Berni Wrightson (in 1968!), an article about and art by Frank Frazetta, science fiction covers and more.

All, the glory days of fanzines.  Thanks to Ken Meyer, Jr. for making these available!
