    Issue 1. Circa 1965. Fanzine created, written and illustrated by Johnny Ryan. This first issue introduces Ryan's own creation, Mr. Mercury. First page contains a one-paragraph introduction by Ryan and a small superhero drawing, with his mailing information below and a plug for his other zine, "House of Heroes". Remaining 10 pages contain Mr. Mercury's origin story. Beneath the panels on the final page, Ryan includes a charming apology for the crudeness of his illustrations, explaining that it's now 1:35 am and how exhausted he is. In true "get it done no matter what" fashion, the paper stocks are mismatched and make use of whatever paper was available to him. This production was obviously a true labor of love for the young Ryan. 8.5" x 11". 11 ditto pages. Cover price $0.20.
