Title: Heck! Issue Two
Description: Aransas Pass, TX, Published By the Author. Wraps. no date, perhaps 1955. Side stapled wraps, 8 ½ by 11 inches. 12 pp. including covers. Second, and perhaps final, issue of this zine created by Maril Shrewsbury. Although listed as a member of FAPA (Fantasy Amateur Press Association), this zine appears to have little to nothing to do with fantasy in the sense meant. Shrewsbury was a carnival worker who was tasked with painting 12 by 26 inch pictures in under 6 minutes (see Fancyclopedia 3 website). Her first issue of Heck drew heavily on carnival life and culture, while this issue only offers two pages of insight into the culture. The rest is devoted to snippets of letters, subtle sexual innuendo, etc. All said, this zine feels well ahead of its time. GOOD condition. Uneven toning and fading along the extremities. Heavy toning to the interior. Good .
