This issue of Censored, a Canadian science fiction fanzine published by Fred Hurter Jr., contains original fiction, articles, and editorial commentary. The featured story "The Hero of the Spaceways" by Barbara Bovard follows Rick Radford of the Interplanetary Patrol as he apprehends the comical alien criminal the Holy Terror on a small asteroid. "Martian Episode" by Fred Hurter Jr. presents a contemplative narrative of an explorer's first landing on Mars, encountering dormant vegetation and ancient ruins while reflecting on humanity's insignificance. The issue includes a one-part serial "Fourth Dimensional Mixup" by Leslie Croutch, a humorous "Unscientifacts" department offering absurdist observations on Earth phenomena, and "Rocket Ships," an article by Fred Hurter Jr. The editor's notes announce upcoming contributions from Oliver Saari and other writers, discuss Canadian fandom's growth, and recount production difficulties with mimeography and cover printing.
