APPARATCHIK was the Matt Murdock of fandom. A childhood accident with radioactive materials robbed him of his sight, but also conferred upon him remarkable extrasensory powers, and allowed him to become the Man Without Fear. You could get Apak for the usual, but note that trades must be sent to all three editors. Or you can get Apparatchik for $3.00 for a 3 month supply, or a year's worth for $12.00 or a lifetime subscription for $19.73, or in exchange for sundry trinkets, an option which a disturbing number of readers chose to pursue.

For readers in the United Kingdom, Martin Tudor will accept #10.00 for an annual subscription, #19.37 for a lifetime sub, from 24 Ravensbourne Grove, Off Clarke's Lane, Willenhall, West Midlands, WV13 1HX, UK. Australian readers can subscribe through Irwin Hirsh, 26 Jessamine Ave., East Prahran, Victoria 3181 Australia, for $4.50 (single issue), $17.00 (annual) and $28.09 (lifetime) Australian.

The lips, the tips of the fingers and toes, and the palms and soles of the feet, were often dyed red with lac.
