Analog Science Fiction And Fact

Whispers (Magazine/Anthologies)
''Whispers'' was one of the new horror and fantasy fiction magazines of the 1970s. History Named after a fictitious magazine referenced in the H. P. Lovecraft story " The Unnamable", ''Whispers'' began as an attempt by editor and publisher Stuart David Schiff to produce a modest semi-professional little magazine that hoped to revive the legendary ''Weird Tales'' in a small way. The magazine was also a followup to August Derleth's The Arkham Collector, which had ceased after Derleth's death. ''Whispers'' was first published in July 1973. It went on to become a more elaborate showcase for dark fantasy fiction and artwork of the 1970s.

The Magazine Of Fantasy And Science Fiction
''The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction'' (usually referred to as ''F&SF'') is a U.S. fantasy and science fiction magazine first published in 1949 by Mystery House, a subsidiary of Lawrence Spivak's Mercury Press. Editors Anthony Boucher and J. Francis McComas had approached Spivak in the mid-1940s about creating a fantasy companion to Spivak's existing mystery title, ''Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine''. The first issue was titled ''The Magazine of Fantasy'', but the decision was quickly made to include science fiction as well as fantasy, and the title was changed correspondingly with the second issue. ''F&SF'' was quite different in presentation from the existing science fiction magazines of the day, most of which were in pulp format: it had no interior illustrations, no letter column, and text in a single column format, which in the opinion of science fiction historian Mike Ashley "set ''F&SF'' apart, giving it the air and authority of a superior magazine". ''F&SF'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Starlog'' was one of the first publications to report on the development of the first '' Star Wars'' movie, and it followed the development of what was to eventually become '' Star Trek: The Motion Picture'' (1979). ''Starlog'' was born out of the ''Star Trek'' fandom craze, but also was inspired by the success of the magazine '' Cinefantastique'' which was the model of ''Star Trek'' and '' Star Wars'' coverage.

The primary focus of the magazine, besides the fact that it was mostly based on ''Star Trek'' fandom, was the making of science fiction media - books, films, and television series - and the work that went into these creations.

Fangoria (magazine)
