Based on the contents of the Luminist Archives, this first issue of Xenon appears to have been its only, and thus last, issue. Its actual content comprises only ten of its sixteen pages, with one major illustration – on the cover – shown below. The devil is depicted in daring detail by Ted Payer, about whom information seems to be unavailable. The Fancyclopedia has no information about publisher Gordon K. Rouze, while his FindAGrave biographical profile makes no mention of any interest in fantasy or science fiction, though it does note that he was a “hobby printer”.
As for the drawing? The basilisk (?) is of great effect!
