Cosmos Science-Fantasy Review, No. 1

# Content of Science-Fantasy Review / Cosmos (April 1969, No. 1)

This inaugural issue of Cosmos, relaunching the earlier Science-Fantasy Review, surveys the transformed sf publishing landscape. A publisher advertisement showcases forthcoming omnibus collections by Clarke, Aldiss, Asimov, Bester, Heinlein, and Van Vogt, featuring titles including Foundation, The Demolished Man, and Childhood's End.

John Carnell details his creation of New Writings in SF, a paperback anthology series launched following his departure from magazine editing. Beginning with stories by established writers and reprints, the series evolved to encourage experimental work from authors including Brian Aldiss ("Man on the Bridge"), Keith Roberts, Colin Kapp, Vincent King, and James White (Sector General Hospital tales), expanding internationally to Australian and Spanish contributors.

Separately, an article by Thomas Sheridan announces a new venture: editor Philip Harbottle and Australian businessman Ronald E. Graham launching Vision of Tomorrow, a bi-monthly magazine and companion paperback series featuring English and Australian writers, with stories from William F. Temple, E. C. Tubb, and Kenneth Bulmer, plus reprints of deceased Lancashire author John Russell Fearn's work.
