The Magi (about)
A scarce school magazine devoted to weird fiction and ed. Joel Lane when he was 16. This may well be the only issue.

The Magi [v1 #1, 1979] ed. Joel Lane & Laurence Westwood (10p, 52pp, A5)
A note in the editorial reads “unsuitable for first-year girls, Lower-School boys, and English teachers” while the postscript gives the editorial offices as “Room 60.” Anyone with a better knowledge of Joel Lane’s biography should be able to give the school a name. Details supplied by John Eggeling.
