Fantasy is the idea of Anthony Boucher, 38, a top mystery writer (creator of Sister Ursula, the nun-detective) and J. Francis McComas, 39, onetime radio announcer and wonder-story writer.

It took two years to fit Fantasy into Spivak's small operation, which requires a staff of only six to put out the unprofitable Mercury, the profitable Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and 30 cut-down mystery reprints a year...
