An
Italian ghost edition |

Christopher
Paul Carey found this cover on the internet. It is of the Italian Urania Fantasy
magazine, with a translation of Farmer's novel Hadon
of Ancient Opar (Opar, la città
immortale) There is no additional information about this
publication given on the webpage.
On the cover you can see that it was 'published' by Mondadori in
February 1976.
There is only one place on the internet where you can see this cover.
On one of the pages of the website Photobucket.com.
Chris didn't find this publication in the PJF Bibliography, and asked
me if I knew anything about the magazine.
I did not know about this one, and had never seen the picture before.
My research did not give any information about this issue. It looks
like that it never was printed or published. Mondadori actually
published the novel, but then in a paperback in 1989, in their 'Oscar
Fantasy' series. In that book are no references of an earlier
publication.
I also searched in the
online Italian listings
of all of the several Urania
series. Mondadori had a Urania
Fantasy series, but that one only started in 1988. None of
the shown issues look anywhere near the above shown cover.
My conclusion: this is a phantom or ghost edition. I added it on the
page 'Ghost Editions'.
