by Gideon Marcus Happy holidays everyone! This is my favorite time of the year–not because presents are exchanged or because the days are finally getting longer again, but because I get to present to you the very best science fiction published in the last twelve months. Even better, since I can't possibly consume it all … Continue reading [December 24, 1967] Hit Parade '67 (the year's best science fiction)
by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall Whilst reading the Times a couple of months I was surprised to see a mention of my favourite SF periodical turn up. As regular readers of the publication will know they have managed to get a new publisher (Stonehart) and are continuing on with only a single month’s break to reorganize. … Continue reading [December 16, 1967] Long Distance Travel (December 1967 Galactoscope)
by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall With so much news about social reforms or issues in Rhodesia and Aden, it is easy to forget that the economy was one of the main issues that led to Wilson’s election as Prime Minister, in particular dealing with the trade deficit. For almost a decade now Britain has been importing … Continue reading [December 4, 1967] Devaluation (New Writings in SF-11 & Beyond Infinity December 1967)
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.

by Gideon Marcus The New Frontier Tomorrow, history will be made: the first Saturn V, largest rocket in the history of the world, will take off. If successful, Project Apollo's launch vehicle will be "man-rated", and one hurdle between humanity and the moon will have been cleared. Of course, we'll have full coverage of the … Continue reading [November 8, 1967] Four to go (December 1967 Galaxy)
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
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)
