| 2 | Summer 1963 | 40 | Review by Mike Deckinger, Fantasy Fiction Field 15 (August 27, 1963, p. 4): “JELERANG strikes me as being basically a clubzine which is timidly dabbling its feet in the streams of genzine fandom, while restraining the needed courage to take the plunge. It has several things in its favor, including near-faultless multi-lith repro (though it needs artwork badly) and a seemingly filled-with-enthusiasm staff who are determinedly toiling away at it. The material within is not outstanding, but it's not really bad either. A pseudonymous character calling himself “Saturated Fats” writes a superficial account of New York's Lunacon, spending too much time in his travels and too little in the actual con goings on. There are several feghoots, none of them too good, but then what ones are? One is the product of the devious mind of Randall Garrett and thus immediately distinguished: it's dirty. A shoddy free verse attempt under the unimaginative title of 'A Fragment of a Scream' fails miserably. And someone named Harvey Forman does a fairish job of reviewing fanzines.” Buck Coulson was even more disapproving in Yandro 126. |
