By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall Having a teacher first as a mother, and now one for a wife, I think of the year as mirroring the school terms, with the new year beginning in September. But, looking at the newspapers, it doesn’t appear the world has changed much in the last twelve months. On the home … Continue reading [September 8, 1969] Another Orbit around the sun (Orbit 5)
by Fiona Moore Hello! I’m taking over the New Worlds reviews from Mark Yon, which is a little intimidating, but I hope I’ll be able to live up to his excellent legacy. On the UK Star Trek broadcast front, I missed “Mudd’s Women” due to having to take a work trip to Glasgow, but “A … Continue reading [August 22, 1969] Peake District: New Worlds September 1969
by John Boston The September Amazing is fronted by one of Johnny Bruck’s more cliched covers, this one from Perry Rhodan #59 from 1962. It’s notable mainly for the fact that the guy with two guns and a fierce expression seems to be diving through a matter transmitter, and we see, impossibly, both the origin … Continue reading [August 10, 1969] Pushing the Envelope (September 1969 Amazing)
by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! Well since last month we’ve had the Moon landing, which I’m sure you’ve read all about from my colleagues here at Galactic Journey. It was quite exciting here in England too, even if events were happening well into the early morning hours. Secondly, we’ve started showing episodes … Continue reading [July 28, 1969] New Worlds – on a Budget, August 1969
by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! As we are now into Summer here, the warmer weather leads to reflection, if not introspection, although I am quite excited about the next few months. Not only do we have the impending Apollo mission to land men on the Moon – and how exciting does that … Continue reading [June 26, 1969] Five Years… New Worlds, July 1969
by Gideon Marcus Well, I've waited too long to do one of these! In 1961, I got myself a television. Not just any television—I went straight to a color set (an RCA), even as hardly anyone in the nation owned one. Heck, we still had stations that weren't broadcasting in color yet. I think NBC … Continue reading [May 4, 1969] Navigating the Wasteland #3 (1966-69 in (good) television)
by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again. After the grumpiness of my last review, I’m pleased to say that 1969 has arrived and put me in a better frame of mind. I am determined that this new year will see me being more positive. Mind you, New Worlds seems determined at times to try … Continue reading [January 26, 1968] A New World Order New Worlds, February 1969
A school for young wizards: What could possibly go wrong! I wanted to like last year's City of Illusions, but the book fell flat. However, I saw the potential in Ursula K. Le Guin as a writer. Her ideas in the book were good, it was the execution that was lacking, so with her latest … Continue reading November 16, 1968 We contain multitudes (November 1968 Galactoscope)
by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello. Testing, testing.. Anyone there? This feels a little like one of those lonely messages out on the ether, post-apocalypse. I was last here for the July 1968 issue, whose publication, if you remember, was at a time of turmoil…. And then nothing for nearly four months. Until now, … Continue reading [October 22, 1968] Hello Again! New Worlds, October & November 1968
by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall Yesterday, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, a huge celebration took place. International dignitaries attended, US Marines fired cannons, Local Choirs sang specially composed songs. What was all this in aid of? The beginning of one of the strangest architectural projects of our time. The reconstruction of London Bridge.
