Comic &amp; Fantasy Art Amateur Press AssociationComic &amp; Fantasy Art Amateur Press Association Comic & Fantasy Art Amateur Press Association The Comic and Fantasy Art Amateur Press Association (CFA-APA) was founded in 1985 by Roger Hill. Its membership consists of knowledgeable fans, creators, and collectors of comic and fantasy art who write about various subjects related to those genres. The group self-publishes approximately three times a year and each issue has a theme relating to a specific creator or subject. Currently, membership is limited to 40 persons at any one time and circulation is limited to 55 issues, making the publication itself highly collectible. The CFA-APA began as an informal forum  for original comic art collectors to exchange ideas, experiences and information. It provides serious fans and collectors of comic and fantasy art with a forum/publication for discussion of topics, ideas or opinions relative to the original art marketplace. It is designed for those people who have a genuine interest and love for all types of art collecting: comic book art, illustrations of science fiction, fantasy, horror or adventure stories, pin-up/good-girl art, cover art from paperbacks, hardcover books, magazines or pulps, newspaper strips or cartoon art, animation art, movie posters or advertising artwork, and related illustrations or  sketches. Roger Hill is one of the most active comic art collectors, researchers and comic art historians in the United States. He was a comic art consultant to the Sothebys Comic Book and Art auctions held in New York City during the 1990s. He was a contributing writer and Art Editor for the book, "Against the Grain: Mad Artist Wallace Wood" and a writer and editor for the book "Frank R. Paul: The Dean of Science Fiction Illustration". Both of these publications were monographs regarding the life and artwork of each of these two artists. Roger was one of the  founding contributors to the Squa Tront EC fanzine along with Jerry Weist. Roger's interest in original art lead to the formation of the CFA-APA, after being inspired by the Edgar Rice Burroughs Amateur Press Association (ERBapa). The ERBapa had previously been founded by John Guidry. History. A history of the CFA-APA was a chapter in the 2011 "The Comic Art Price Guide". Roger Hill served as editor of the CFA-APA, initially from Mailing #1 (June 30, 1985) to mailing #15. The original membership included 17 members, four of whom were delinquent in sending in contributions to  the first mailing. Wallace Harrington was the editor for Mailings #16-30, 33-34. Roger Hill edited Mailings #31, #32 and #53-60. Bob Koppany "et al" (see individual listings) edited from Mailings #35-49. Bill Leach edited from Mailings #50-52. Benno Rothschild "et al" (see individual listings) edited Mailings #61-89. Wallace Harrington resumed editorial duties again with Mailing #91, followed by David Applegate from Mailing #101 onwards. Included among the group members who have written articles or books to add to the history of comics are Tom Roberts ("Alex Raymond: His Life and Art"), Jim Amash ("Matt  Baker: The Art of Glamour," "Carmine Infantino: Penciler, Publisher, Provocateur," ), Dewey Cassell ("The Art of George Tuska", "Marie Severin: The Mirthful Mistress of Comics"), Wallace Harrington ("Neville Colvin: A Modest Man"), Gary Land (Edwin Austin Abbey: Master of Detail Illustration Magazine #40), Benno Rothschild ("Rough Stuff" Interview with Brian Stelfreeze in "Rough Stuff" #6), David L. Applegate (""Coming out in the comic strips"," from "Hogan's Alley" no. 1, 1994, Bullmoose Publishing, Atlanta), Raymond A. Cuthbert ("The Two-Gun Kid: The Silver Age Western Super-Hero", "Comic Book Marketplace" #98, January 2003; "Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon: The Comic Strip  as Epic Fantasy", "Comic Book Marketplace" #93, August 2002, "An Interview with Hello Betty! Artist, Terry Twigg"), and Bill Leach (editor and publisher of HORROR FROM THE CRYPT OF FEAR,#8-14, the only EC HorrorZine approved by the William M. Gaines Estate). Other members such as John Stuart and Steve Nam have included comic and fantasy art in their works of fiction (the novel Cryptic Inks and short story "Streets like Gray Wolves" in Tulane Review, respectively). Magazine contents. The magazine consists of articles written, laid out, and duplicated by its members that are sent to an editor/collator for  distribution. Each issue is dedicated to specific articles or general themes. Each issue is dedicated to a specific artist or general theme. Some of the featured artists themselves write guest contributions. Occasionally, the CFA-APA has a give-away in an issue, giving away a free piece of artwork to a member rendered by the featured artist, or related to the feature artist. Membership. Annual dues are used to cover the costs of binding, packaging and mailing the CFA-APA. Membership is limited to 40 people at any one time. Vacancies in the membership roll are filled from a waiting  list on a first-come, first-served basis. Each member must contribute at least two pages or original typed text material for each mailing. They can talk about comments from the prior issue, the artist being featured, comic art auctions or anything related to original art in general. It turns out to be only two pages submitted every four months to remain a CFA-APA member (most members typically contribute more). Should a member miss an issue, they must contribute four pages of text to the following issue. If they fail to do so, they forfeit their active membership and  go to the end of the waiting list for new members if they like. If a member is suspected of fraudulent art dealings, they are asked to temporarily relinquish their membership until they are cleared of the charges or until restitution to the parties has been made.
