Description MAGIC CAULDRON Magazine MAGIC CAULDRON Magazine. Alfredson/Daily bibliography number: 3650. Published quarterly by F. William Kuethe, Jr. Glen Burnie, Maryland. 7"x8 1/2" in size. Started with Number 2 February 1962 to Number 64 June 1977. Supplements were included with the issues and consecutively numbered. Issue N2 was issued first, followed by N3, N1, N4, N5...... As the story goes, the publisher started with issues N2, then N3, then N1 to see if there was any interest in his new magazine. If there wasn't he would cease publication after N3 and make collector's always search for N1. Well, the magazine did catch on for a total of 64 issues, spread out over a 15 year publication. What's offered here is a combination of 52 Original issues and 12 Xerox issues, plus a large assortment (72) of the Original Supplements. My LONG DETAILED Listing, below, will show you what this offer consist of. If you see an x after the after the issue number, this denotes the issue is a Xerox copy. If there is no notation of any kind, then both the issue and the supplement are original. If there's no mention of a supplement (original or copy)?, then I didn't have one to include with this offering. Issue #2x - First issue. February 1962. pp5-8.
