EI35
Earl Kemp, earlkemp@citlink.net / eFanzines.com / Subtitled the 2007 Annual, eI35 opens with a cool Steve Stiles cover mixing Disney with Lovecraft, and closes with a Stiles portfolio; I'm with Earl, Steve is decades overdue for a Hugo. Strongest item in this wonderful electronic zine and one of the best read this whole season is Michael Moorcock's memoir, "A Child's Christmas in the Blitz", with photos selected by Jim Linwood. It is superbly written (of course) and extraordinarily moving. Of course one is reminded of the great film Hope & Glory. Mike Ashley writes also very well about his discovery of fandom in "Hooked". Not enough about Earl himself here, but what's here is fine.
