AUTHENTIC SCIENCE FICTION FANTASTIC WORLDS seems as though it hardly rates the title fanzine. It is so well produced and carries such high quality material that it seems nearer to a professional magazine. Maybe that is why it costs 35 c. a copy ($1.00 for four issues). British subscriptions should be arranged through Ken Slater of Operation Fantast. This fanzine is published by Sam Sackett of 1449 Brockton Avenue, Los An- geles 25, California. He makes a superlative job of it, and we can confidently recommend it to our readers. SoLz is a somewhat peculiar, duplicated fanzine, put out by the Drill Press Publications, 914 Ham- mond Road, Ridgewood, New Jersey. It contains nothing but articles on science fiction stories, fandom, personalities and suchlike. Both illustrations and text could be better produced, but the content is of standard quality. Subscription is 50 c. for six issues or 10 c. a copy. QUESTIONMARK is an Australian fanzine, and a very welcome one too. Edited by Bruce F. Heron from 4 Myrtle Grove, Preston, Victoria, Australia, it contains about thirty-two pages of articles and stories, with fantasy included. There are no illustrations, but the material is of quite high quality. British subscription rate is 10s. or Od. per issue. They do not say how often the fanzine is published. Stateside subscription is $2.00 or 15 c. per issue. Australian sub- scription is 12s. 6d. or 1s. per issue. SCIENCE FICTION NEws is another Australian publication, this time a single sheet (four pages) litho- graphed affair put out by G. B. Stone, Box 4788, G.P.O., Sydney, N.S.W., Australia. It contains snippets of news from the whole world of science fiction and fan- dom. Subscription 6s. a year. SHEPHERDS is the title of next month’s long novel by Bryan Berry. Set on Venus, it is a tale of strong adventure into the secret past of that planet. John Christopher is back again with a piece of his usual calibre, Aristotle. Another Canadian author, William S. Kals, makes his debut with Top Secret. Two American authors, Leonard Pruyn and H. B. Hickey, give us original stories with a Stateside flavour. Supporting features include an article on home chemistry and The March of Science, a regular commentary on recent scientific developments. : AUTHENTIC —a Monthly Must! 121 ComicloOolkks.com
