Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1953. The March,1953 issue of Fate Magazine (issue no.36) in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 130 pp. A Near Fine copy - very near fine, with no salient flaws whatsoever; standard inevitable age-toning to the still very supple pages (scan). Very high grade condition for a periodical which often shows substantial wear from use. See all scans. Cover displays a fetching woman in one of her personalities in the lead article, "Three Girls - One Body".
