1942 Fanzines For Consideration in this year's Retro Hugo Nominations

This is a list of fanzines from the year 1942, primarily from the Pavlat-Evans Index with supplemental research from Joe Siclari's collection, other bibliographies, and reviews. It is probably not complete but does include most, if not all of the major zines.The zines provided here can be used as reading material for nominations in the Retro-Hugo Award categories. Zines that qualify for Best Fanzine will be marked with red letters as (Eligible). The fanzine title is linked to the fanzine's FANAC.ORG index page if we have one, even if there are no 1942 issues available on FANAC.ORG. The individual issue links will take you to the individual issues, both on FANAC.ORG and on several other websites. If you know of other sites with relevant fanzines, please let us know. Software for this integrated list by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!
