Add to basketFanzine. Reprint. No 5 (vol 2 no 2). A February 1976 reprint of the May 1973 issue. 32 pages: ''an informal sf & fantasy journal''. Important, long-running (under several different titles) sf fanzine, reviews, articles and comment from prolific porn author Dick Geis. First published in May 1973 in a smaller A5 format with card c…overs, this 1976 reprint is in larger A5 format. Includes an interview with Fritz Leiber and an article by James Blish. From no 12 it was retitled SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW. 'Richard E. Geis - US writer, editor and sf fan, best known since 1953 for producing and contributing significantly to a fanzine, PYSCHOTIC, and later a semiprozine, THE ALIEN CRITIC , both of which were, confusingly, at different times known as SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW. His vigorously anti-highbrow judgements were for a long time influential in the sf field; between 1969-1983 he six times won a Hugo for Best Fanzine and a further seven times for Best Fan Writer. PSYCHOTIC, a US fanzine, edited by Richard E. Geis, begun in 1953 and after 20 issues was retitled Science Fiction Review for three issues in 1955; he then stopped publishing. Geis resumed it with PSYCHOTIC #21 in 1967, then again changed the title to SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW from #28. It was by this time printing more serious reviews and interviews, though its main feature remained Geis's amusing, rambling, personal comments. As SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW it won a Hugo for Best Fanzine in 1969 and 1970, but ended with no 43 in March, 1971, at which point it had a circulation, unusually high for a fanzine, of 1700. Geis then started THE ALIEN CRITIC in 1973, which itself, confusingly, underwent a change of title back to SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW in 1975'' (Peter Nicholls/Encyclopedia of SF). Near fine (NF) copy, pages a little browned (due to cheap pulp paper used).

Add to basketMagazine. No 12 (vol 4 no 1, February 1975). 52 pages: ''an informal sf & fantasy journal''. Important, long-running (under several different titles) sf fanzine, reviews, articles and comment from prolific porn author Dick Geis. This is the first issue with the new title of SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW, before that it was THE ALIEN CR…ITIC (no 4-11) and before that the first three issues (all 1972) were simply titled RICHARD E. GEIS. ''US writer, editor and sf fan, best known since 1953 for producing and contributing significantly to a fanzine, Psychotic, and later a semiprozine, THE ALIEN CRITIC , both of which were, confusingly, at different times known as Science Fiction Review. His vigorously anti-highbrow judgements were for a long time influential in the sf field; between 1969-1983 he six times won a Hugo for Best Fanzine and a further seven times for Best Fan Writer. THE ALIEN CRITIC started for its first three issues as an informal magazine written entirely by the editor and titled Richard E. Geis. With the title-change in 1973, the magazine's contents began to diversify, featuring regular columns by John Brunner and Ted White as well as a variety of articles and a series of interviews with sf authors and artists, although its characteristic flavour still derived from the editor's own outspoken reviews and commentary. With #12 in 1975 the title changed to Science Fiction Review (confusingly, a title used also by Geis for his previous fanzine Psychotic)'' (Peter Nicholls/Encyclopedia of SF). Covers a little marked, a VG+ copy.
