The Comic and Fantasy Art Amateur Press Association (CFA-APA) was founded in 1985 by Roger Hill. Its membership consists of knowledgeable fans, creators, and collectors of comic and fantasy art who write about various subjects related to those genres. The group self-publishes approximately three times a year and each issue has a theme relating to a specific creator or subject. Currently, membership is limited to 40 persons at any one time and circulation is limited to 55 issues, making the publication itself highly collectible. The CFA-APA began as an informal forum for original comic art collectors to exchange ideas, experiences and information. It provides serious fans and collectors of comic and fantasy art with a forum/publication for discussion of topics, ideas or opinions relative to the original art marketplace. It is designed for those people who have a genuine interest and love for all types of art collecting: comic book art, illustrations of science fiction, fantasy, horror or adventure stories, pin-up/good-girl art, cover art from paperbacks, hardcover books, magazines or pulps, newspaper strips or cartoon art, animation art, movie posters or advertising artwork, and related illustrations or sketches. Roger Hill is one of the most active comic art collectors, researchers and comic art historians in the USA. He was a comic art consultant to the Sothebys Comic Book and Art auctions held in New York City during the 1990s. He was a contributing writer and Art Editor for the book, ''Against the Grain: Mad Artist Wallace Wood'' 〔''Against the Grain: Mad Artist Wallace Wood'' (TwoMorrows Publishing 2003)〕 and a writer and editor for the book ''Frank R. Paul: The Dean of Science Fiction Illustration''.〔''Frank R. Paul: The Dean of Science Fiction Illustration'' (IDW Publishing 2012)〕 Both of these publications were monographs regarding the life and artwork of each of these two artists. Roger was one of the founding contributors to the Squa Tront EC fanzine along with Jerry Weist. Roger's interest in original art lead to the formation of the CFA-APA, after being inspired by the Edgar Rice Burroughs Amateur Press Association (ERBapa). The ERBapa had previously been founded by John Guidry. ==History== A history of the CFA-APA was a chapter in ''The Comic Art Price Guide'' by Jerry Weist.〔''The Comic Art Price Guide'' by Jerry Weist (Ivy Press, 2011)〕 It was written by CFA-APA Founder, Roger Hill and is found on pages 29–33 of that book. Roger was a contributing advisor to all three editions of ''The Comic Art Price Guide'' by Jerry Weist. Roger Hill served as editor of the CFA-APA, initially from Mailing #1 (June 30, 1985) to mailing #15. The membership initially included 17 members, four of whom were delinquent in sending in contributions to the first mailing. Wallace Harrington was the editor for Mailings #16-30, 33-34.
