<p>This is a collected and reprinted volume of Shavertron, a fanzine about the works of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Sharpe_Shaver">Richard S. Shaver</a> that began in 1979; after Shaver’s death, which presumably prompts the “Post-Deluge Shaverania” of the subtitle.</p>

<p>“The Mimeograph Years” and “Richard Toronto / Editor” are not hand-drawn, despite their wobbly look. Glyphs are repeated identically, most noticeably <strong>o</strong> but others also, which suggests a font. But not LTR NCND.</p>

<p>“AGHARTA” seen inside the roundel motif in the lower-left quadrant of the artwork is a reference to a myth about a legendary kingdom located inside a hollow earth, which is also a theme in Shaver’s writings. Note that the globe of the earth (upper right) has a hole in the “top” where UFOs can fly in to and out of the presumed inner space of the Earth. Wikipedia has a page under the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agartha">Agarta spelling</a>.</p>

<p>Max Fyfield seems to be an artist associated with things Shaver, so their tag in the bottom left presumably means they drew the art, apparently in 1981.</p><br/><br/>This post was originally published at <a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/61761/shavertron-the-mimeograph-years-by-richard-to">Fonts In Use</a><hr/>]]></description>
