Great timing, James. Was only reading about FF during the week as part of ongoing Dark Horizons retrospective.

"FORGOTTEN FANTASY emanated from Hollywood and was edited by designer and publisher Douglas Menville, who acquired as an associate editor bibliophile Robert Reginald. Between Them they possess a vast library of science fiction and fantasy classics and thereby an almost bottomless well upon which to draw for material. The magazine was all reprint, with the policy of resurrecting overlooked fantasy from forgotten books. In his editorial to the first issue, which was dated October 1970, Menville bemoaned the passing of what he thought of as the greatest of all pulp magazines, FAMOUS FANTASTIC MYSTERIES, and stated that FORGOTTEN FANTASY would try, to some measure, to fill that gap. Consequently the first issue was dedicated to FFM's editor, Mary Gnaedinger."

- Mike Ashley, 'The Forgotten Forgotten Fantasy: A Mirror Of The Past, Dark Horizons #12, Winter 1975)

Mr. Ashley, who regards the magazine highly, gives the cover artists as Bill Hughes (issues 1, 3 and 5), George Barr (2), and Tim Kirk (4).
