Well done, Des! This has to be the most comprehensive fanzine cover gallery i've seen on the web to date. Thanks, Demonik. I've only really scratched the surface of my collection (ie. there are many more contributor mags plus all my non-contributor mags)! The range of publications is not really covered by the term 'fanzine' I feel. The range, indeed, is very wide, as you can sense from just looking at the covers. Among those many contributor Small Press publications of mine (that I have not included on this thread for the reasons previously given) are also some that I felt were not Small Press at all: Three editions of 'Best New Horror' edited by Stephen Jones. Five editions of 'Year's Best Horror Stories' edited by Karl Edward Wagner. 'Shadows Over Innsmouth' (Fedogan & Bremer leading to mass market publication with other publishers). 'Horror Of The Next Millenium' (Darkside Press leading to mass market paperback). 'Signals: London Magazine' (Constable Books). 'Cthulhu's Heirs' (Chaosium Books). 'Song of Cthulhu' (Chaosium Books). 'Touch Wood' (Little, Brown). 'The Ex Files' (Quartet). 'The Ultimate Zombie' (Dell). 'Horror: Another 100 Best Books' (Carroll & Graf). Stand Magazine. 'The Tiger Garden' (Serpent's Tail) I really enjoyed starting this thread. Thanks for giving it house room. I hope it brings new members who look themselves up on google and end up on this thread! I hope others will continue the splurge of 'orrorfaces with their own covers. For example, I was never in GRUE... The Implosion cover is really one for the others, the true others. des |

 Dave RoweI doubt if many would thank me for posting this one, Macrocosm 3 from Summer 1972. The writing is very self-conscious at times, with people finding their literary feet; the drawings mostly good. Editorial (In Search of Inspiration) by Rob Holdstock Consummation by Chris Morgan and Rob Holdstock Sea, bird (verse) by Rob Holdstock The Sax Symbol of Clovis Lypton by Bryn Fortey and F G Smallmount Interview with Andrew Stephenson (who's art illustrated Vector before he was taken on by Fantasy and SF Magazine in the States) The Big Role (a Jerry Cornelius story) by Chris Morgan The Bethlehem File (a play) by John Brosnan The Symbol by Jack Marsh Narrative After Neruda (verse) by Eric James Escape and Sanitary Rule (two poems) by Contessa Conesa The Village by Robert Curran (possibly the most memorable piece here) Desolate Street and Wisdom (two poems) by Franklyn G Johnson Art staff: Terry Jeeves, Alastair Noyle, Lisa Conesa, Andrew Stephenson, Dave Rowe, James Pagitt, Eric James. Rob could never have realised what an impression he'd made on me. Come to that, I didn't realise it either. A person with a loud and clear voice and strong opinions. The Dream Zone 2, April 1999 All artwork by Helen Field Bridge Over Troubled Blood by Rhys Hughes Astral by Paul Kane Dreamyheads by Sean Russell Friend The Turning Point by Paul Pinn The Secret of Eternal Life by Steve Lockley Sweet and Sour Dreams by John B Ford Out of Water by P C Attaway Prettyface by Roger Jackson Enemy Ours by Paul Finch Bodybag by Kenneth H Wood Slow Snow by Sari Pauloma Living Beyond the Flesh by David Price The Dream of Life by David Cowdall The Two Philosophers by Michael Pendragon Possibly this one's been posted already. If so, here it is again. I think I saw this advertised in Interzone and suspected it was part of a "small press" which I'd heard rumours of. I still had little idea of the changes that were hitting the world of publishing. Curiously, I can see a few names here that I've really only learned recently, suggesting fandom is smaller than it seems. |

The Alien Critic (quarterly) # 10 and 11 from August and November 1974 I was expecting to find more about the frighteningly intelligent Richard E Geiss on the net. So far all I found was his Alien Critic review appended to this page for Samuel Delany's The Tides of Lust. Most pro magazine editors would give an arm and a leg for the kind of copy Geiss received. Vividly recollect Geiss's bemoaning the fact that women didn't respond to lonely hearts ads from men in wheelchairs. I suppose I've got four or five of these, and they were way too intelligent for me to really appreciate, so that now I look back on them ruefully, wondering if it was A Good Thing That I Didn't Write A LOC. People who did write LOCs included Robert Bloch, Ted Tubb, Alan Dean Foster, David Gerrold, John Bangsund, Avram Davidson, Harlan Ellison, George Hay... |

Kilgore Trout (I'm quoting from a Wikipedia page here, as I'd forgotten, it's been so long - god it's awful sometimes being over 50  ) is a fictional character created by author Kurt Vonnegut. Originally conceived as a fictionalization of author Theodore Sturgeon (Vonnegut's colleague in the genre of science fiction), Trout's consistent presence in Vonnegut's works has led critics to view him as the author's own "alter ego". Trout is also the titular "author" of the novel Venus on the Half-Shell, written (pseudonymously) by Philip José Farmer. Get FOKT was a fanzine put out by the late and very great Bob Shaw and the Strathclyde Space and SF Society, who met at the lounge of Wintersgill's Bar in Great Western Road, Glasgow, the 'zine edited by Shaw, who was specifically asked not to thank Sandy Brown for all the hard work he'd put in, so there! Issue 1 included fiction by Bob Shaw, The Last Giant. Artwork by George Emery, Ed Buckley, Jim Mullen, Bob Shaw, D. McG., Jim Barker (his very professional cartoons decorated many an SF 'zine), Stan Firth, Judy Watson. The first issue came out in October 1977; fourth issue undated. Bob Shaw was then Membership Secretary of the BSFA. |

You can blame Des for this, as I was led over from Shocklines. I managed to dig out a load that I was in -without- Des being there. (Not so easy as it sounds  So, in no particular order, and apologies for the dodgy photies, I give you.... Xenos. I was in no less than 6 of these. The covers only varied with the colour of the title. It was interesting in that every issue contained reader evaluations of the previous issues stories. It ran for quite a while, and was more staid and traditional than many of the other mags around. Feb 1995, Issue 29  The Velvet Vampyre. Nice looking and glossy journal of the Vampire Society, this one from 1995, Issue 25  |

This one just creeps in under the 2000 limit. And OK, Des is in it, but it hasn't been posted yet. Roadworks, Millennium Special. Des, Nick Royle, Rhys Hughes, Tim Lebbon, Gary Couzens, and me.  One from across the pond. Pirate Writings, 1994, Issue 4. The first issue to go glossy, and one of my earliest sales to the US.  |
