3 Comments

by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! You might have realised that it’s nearly Christmas – again! It has turned colder here but I’m pleased to say nothing like THAT Winter of four years ago, which has gone into the record books, I understand. Nevertheless, I do like the season, as it means I … Continue reading [November 26, 1967] The Shock of the New – Part 3 New Worlds, December 1967 – January 1968 →

[October 24, 1967] War, Anti-utopias and Near-Future Apocalypses New Worlds, November 1967

3 Comments

by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! As the weather turns distinctly autumnal here, I guess that we can say Goodbye to the so-called “Summer of Love”. Here in Britain I can’t say I’ve noticed major social changes, and certainly not as much as you in California – but it has at least brought … Continue reading [October 24, 1967] War, Anti-utopias and Near-Future Apocalypses New Worlds, November 1967 →

6 Comments

by Alison Scott You will have to make, I fear, some allowances for your fanzine correspondent, recently returned – as reported only a couple of days ago by the Traveler – from the World Science Fiction Convention.

[August 10, 1967] Badger Books: A Farewell and an Introduction

5 Comments

by Fiona Moore The great British pulp imprint Badger Books ceased trading earlier this year. This is a mixed blessing, but nevertheless a significant event. So it seems like a good time to provide a brief introduction for people who, like me, have a taste for schlocky and pulpy science fiction. Stuff which can make … Continue reading [August 10, 1967] Badger Books: A Farewell and an Introduction →

[April 28, 1967] Tempest in a Teacup (The Terrornauts)

1 Comment

by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall Next week will see the launch of third satellite in the British Ariel programme. Assuming this is successful, it will be significant for a couple of reasons.

[April 8, 1967] Swan Songs (May 1967 Worlds of Tomorrow)

2 Comments

by Victoria Silverwolf After the Ball is Over According to my sources in the publishing world, the latest issue of Worlds of Tomorrow is the last one that will be published. I can't say I'm completely surprised, given Frederik Pohl's juggling act of editing three magazines at once. Worlds of Tomorrow is the youngest of … Continue reading [April 8, 1967] Swan Songs (May 1967 Worlds of Tomorrow) →

15 Comments

by Gideon Marcus There are many outlets that cover new releases in science fiction and fantasy.  But to my knowledge, only one attempts to review every English language publication in the world (not to mention stuff published beyond the U.S. and U.K.!) We are proud of the coverage we provide. And this is the time … Continue reading [December 26, 1966] Harvesting the Starfields (1966's Galactic Stars!) →
