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. The Fan Hugos – not, thank goodness, the Pongs – were awarded for Best Fan Writer and Best … Continue reading [September 16, 1967] A quick tour round the Fan Hugos
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
by Gideon Marcus When I get older, losing my hair Age afflicts us all. I remember once having a beautiful mop of curly hair with a line that was two inches from my brows. Now, the front is racing toward the back, and my only compsensation is the flourishing stuff coming out my ears. Of … Continue reading [June 20, 1967] Yours sincerely, wasting away (July 1967 Fantasy and Science Fiction)
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. Firstly, whilst it is being launched in partnership with NASA in California, it will be the first satellite to be entirely made and tested … Continue reading [April 28, 1967] Tempest in a Teacup (The Terrornauts)
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)
by John Boston January 6! A portentous anniversary! On this day in 1838, Samuel Morse publicly demonstrated the telegraph, sending a message two miles; and in 1912, German geophysicist Alfred Wegener announced his theory of the continental drift, to much skepticism until very recently. by Arnold Kahn The February 1967 Amazing is here too, in … Continue reading [January 6, 1967] Happy Anniversary (February 1967 Amazing)
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!)
by John Boston Better Red than . . . ? The December Amazing, all business, with the editorial and letter column seemingly dropped permanently , makes a nice-looking package, with a cover by Frank R. Paul shamelessly dominated by near-fire engine red. It’s taken from the back cover of the January 1942 Amazing, where it … Continue reading [November 24, 1966] Middling (December 1966 Amazing)
by Gideon Marcus Identical cousins My brother Louis and I diverge quite a lot. He's an observant Jew, I'm an atheist. He served in World War 2 (drafted into the Navy), I did not. He's an affluent pawnbroker. I'm a writer of questionable success. But where we differ the most is the subjects of our … Continue reading [November 12, 1966] A Family Tradition (December 1966 Galaxy)
by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! We seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment with the British magazines. Generally, there are more stories that are good than bad, and even some really, really good. Whilst the experimental stuff can be a mixed bag, there’s no denying that what … Continue reading [October 24, 1966] Birds, Roaches and Rings, New Worlds and SF Impulse, November 1966
