Aberrations #35 (1995) A long-running mag of the nineties. I recall this mag was originally called 'Abberations'! This cover: Mark Grosskopf Managing Editor: Richard Blair (Tony’s brother?) Contains work by William Orem, Kent Brewster, Virginia Kidd, interview with Neil Gaiman plus more. Agog #2 (1988) The speech bubble says: ‘Could I interest you in a literary magazine?’ Cover signed ‘Tony Bulmer’ I recall the publisher was the legendary Ed Jewasinki (?) This issue contains work by Iain Pigg, Nicola Batty, Ian Gideon, Pete Jeffery and others. My story in it is actually entitled ‘D.F. Lewis’ by DF Lewis!

I'm bored with Parking the Ark; I'm setting off again; but I'll keep an eye out for Dem's raft meanwhile. Two pairs today! Back Brain Recluse #11 (1988) A major original fiction mag that, in theory, is still going via the BBR Small Press Catalogue. Mastermind: Chris Reed Cover: Kaiser Bill. Contents include work by Lyle Hopwood, Mark Samuels, Wayne Allen Sallee and others. (Contained the first publication of the story 'Weirdmonger' and the most incredible artwork perpetrated for one of my stories (Dallas Goffin)). Auslander #2 (1995) Editors/Publishers: Alyson Freegard and Peter Jamieson Sinclair A neat artifact. Cover: Alyson Freegard Contains work by: Jason Gould, Geoff Jackson, Rhys Hughes and others. Auguries #17 (1993) A long-running, delightful mag of late eighties and early nineties. The first mag (even before 'Dagon' #26 in 1989) to do a sort of special DFL feature!  The one above is possibly the last issue, however? Mastermind: Nik Morton who also did the above cover. Contains work by P Andrew Miller, Steve Sneyd, Alan Garside, Cathy Buburuz, Matthew Dickens, John M Peters (editor of the long-running 'Flickers 'n' Frames'), Robert Neilson and many others. Overspace #10 (1990) A wonderfully basic, long-running mag. Editor: Sean R Friend Front Cover: John Light (who still runs LIGHT'S LIST!) Contains work by: Max Kerrigan, John Townsend, the inimitable Bruce P Baker, and others plus an HP Lovecraft: Wordsearch (!). Any more for the Ark  ? |

I'm sure I have that Not at Night issue 1, because it was one of a small press lucky dip got from Des's eBay page. It's here somewhere...  And courtesy of Mr Marriot, here's From The Tomb issue 13 from June 2004. This is an electric chair special, featuring comic art from the '40s written and drawn just for those adorable comic fans who relish seeing hoods and their molls dragged screaming and weeping to the hot seat. From the Hot Seat by editor Peter "Throw the Switch" Normanton who also seems to have written Small Press and a review of The Complete Saga of the Victims (I put up a page on that here). Crime and Unusual Punishment: The Electric Chair Fact File by Frank "squeegee" Motler The Very Best of Warren's Creepy by Peter Enfantino The Covers that Made them Fry by Richard Byard Bitter-Sweet! The Late Romance Comics of Matt Baker by Archer St John (Teen-Age Temptations looks right at home here). Black Hearts, a 5 page comic by John M Matthews, based on a true story (it says). And Hank Chapman Man of Mystery in The Last Voice You Hear, an illustrated article by... Peter Coady! Plus reviews and Bark of the Birch: Your Mother Wouldn't Like It by Paul H Birch - not BDSM but you'd still like it, it's about those gorgeous racks of magazines we used to hang around in corner shops. This is one of the covers reproduced inside. I had to join an auction site to nick this scan! That was riskier than joining Des's forum to steal The Flying Worm.  Serves ya'll right for bandying around disgusting terms like pol****cally co***ct on that Thinking Man's Crumpet thread. From the Tomb issue 15 January 2005 This issue doesn't seem to have a theme. Terror Waits in the Ice and Snow by Peter Normanton From the Bookshelf (by same) It's an Entertaining Comic: Crime Suspense Stories by Peter Enfantino Small Press (Normanton) Paperback Frighteners by Peter Coady (The Pan Horrors) Adventures Into the Unknown by Barry Forshaw The Horrors of War by Frank Wilmot Mails to the Tomb Edgar Allan Poe's Dreams adapted by James Fletcher The Miller's Tale by Frank Motler, Doc Garriock & Michael Harvey The Miller Index (part 1) Better Off Dead by John M Matthews Bad American Comics Presents: Stir Fry! by Frank "infernal" Motler No One Escapes the Chair! Al Feldstein's Shock #1 Revisited (more electric chairs). |

Editor/Publisher: Paul Lockey Cover: Desmond Knight Contains work by Lauren Halkon, DJ Tyrer (editor of Monomyth?), David Price, Steve Redwood and many others. The Dream Zone #1 (1999) An anthology of dark fictionA longish-running mag run by delightfully crazy Paul Bradshaw. Not seen one for a while, though. This is the very first issue. Contains work by Matthew Firth, Andrew Hook (owner of Elastic Press), Sarah Crabtree, Neil K Henderson, Rhys Hughes, Clifford Thurlow, Gavin Salisbury, LH Maynard & MPN Sims, John B Ford, Tim Lebbon and others. Cover: Steve Lines Are you enjoying these mag covers? Do they represent the real underbelly of pulp? Or are you getting fed up with them? Am I unhinged in attempting this!? If you are simply getting fed up with my choice, please put some up of your own choosing (and thanks to those who have already done so).
I have hundreds more horror/fantasy mags yet to post here.
Also hundreds of non-genre fiction mags & journals (also being contributor copies of mine like the genre ones) which I do not intend to post on this thread. Maybe another thread elsewhere for latter?des

Cover by James Cawthorn First published 1973 by Unicorn Fantasy The first sentence of Lin Carter's introduction to volume 2 of Flashing Swords reads "You have never read any of the stories in this book before, because they are all brand-new ones, written especially for this second volume of Flashing Swords..." Flashing Swords 2 was published 1974 in the States, 1975 in Great Britain. But this little number, a 75-page booklet attractively printed in dark-green ink, with cover by Moorcock's mate Jim Cawthorn, is one I bought new in a Truro high street shop in '73. I'm not sure if it's small-press at all. Later I'll move it to a Moorcock thread. |
