One of the greatest fanzine covers I've ever seen, although I'll grant you I haven't seen that many compared to some. This is Richard Bergeron's cover for Warhoon 26. I'm not sure what year it's from, but perhaps somebody can tell me. Sometime in the '60s, I'm thinking. Three unevenly-spaced staples, you'll notice.

That's a gorgeous cover that I've not seen before, my run of Wh lacking that number.

1969 is about right (#27, which I do have, was about then) but I'm not sure Bergeron was silkscreening that early.

And the words "stoned collation party" and "Richard Bergeron" do not go together well; remember that Bergeron was a notorious fannish hermit, making Harry Warner look like a mad party animal...

Well, it could have been a stoned collation party of one!
