Midnight Fantasies was published in the mid 1970s in the U.S.A. It was a combination of fiction, poetry, non-fiction, artwork and material about horror films. The first issue appeared in 1973, the second in 1974, and the third in 1976. A fourth issue was mentioned (dedicated to Arkham House / Donald Wandrei / August Derleth) but due to the long delay between #2 and #3 it looks like this issue was actually published as #3 and the material originally intended for it was printed in various other zines instead. However there were also a zero issue (a test run for issue one), an issue two & one-half (contents unknown), and the Midfan Supplement (which contained some of the pages originally intended for issue three).

from the collection of none other than Kennett Neily, the man in the story below who sold the famous "White Mountain Collection" of silver age comic books, known for being in amazingly clean unread condition and for having a date stamp or writing, from when the item was purchased on the first page inside, well he did that on just about everything he bought (see pics).

WHY HAVE HIS COMICS SOLD FOR SO MUCH MONEY: CONDITION, CONDITION, CONDITION--and look at these books, WOW...

In 1984 a man approached Jerry Weist, owner of "The Million Year Picnic" comic shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a small sampling of comics from his collection. This initial meeting was the hobby's introduction towhat is now referred to as the White Mountain Collection. Few collections of Silver Age books approach the consistently high level of condition and page quality that White Mountain copies possess. Weist would eventually become the organizer for Sotheby's comic book and comic art sales.In that capacity,heintroduced the collecting world to this fabulous discovery, offering choice samplings in Sotheby's 1991, 1993 and 1996 sales.

Many collectors are still not aware that the collection's large body of Silver Age publications also included a small sampling of choice, early Underground Comix. It should also be said that mostcollectors have yet to grasp thesignificance of that inclusion. For most Silver Age collectors, the UG's are the forgotten books of the period, and this is a serious omission on their part.

AND EVEN FEWER KNOW AB0UT HIS COLLECTION OF SCIENCE FICTION BOOKS, H.P LOVECRAFT ITEMS (he published a zine called Lovecraftian Ramblings in the 80's), MAPS, TRAVEL BROCHURES, PORN, TV GUIDES, CAR MANUALS, MAGAZINES, ART, ETC. also in amazing, mostly unread mint box ( Cherubs 2 in simply orange flat)
