By the time he was 16 and a junior at Lindbergh High School, Jim was heavily involved in fandom, and was a member of both the Ozark Science Fiction Association (OSFA) and the Comic Fandom Club, later known as the Graphic Fantasy Collectors of St. Louis (GraFandom or GraFan). The Eye of Argon was published in the August 1970 issue of OSFAN, just a couple weeks after Jim’s 17th birthday. However, this was not Jim’s first appearance in the zine, nor would it be his last. 6/
