Editor's Note: "This issue of "Phantasy World" marks the first appearance of it since last spring, when it was first created. The first issue was crude and poorly printed, being in effect only an experiment. Since that time the Editor deemed it wise to discontinue it until it was certain of receiving bothe the necessary cooperation and demand."
