Scope and content
A collection of zines acquired by underground science-fiction artist, David Rike, who did cover work and illustrations for Variant World, co-edited the zine, Innuendo, and provided contributions to other zines, such as Science Fiction, Five-Yearly, and The Incompleat Burbee. Many of these zines document the rise of science-fiction fandom in the United States from as early as 1944.
System of arrangement
The collection is currently organized into two series, with Series I containing all of the fanzines he collected over the years, arranged alphabetically, and Series II containing a box of drawings, correspondence, and ephemera that belonged to David Rike.
