HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- The 1992 MagiCon was a landmark event, celebrating a half-century of the World Science Fiction Convention. This program documents a transformative moment in the genre; the 1992 Hugo Awards, held at this event, saw the coronation of modern masters including Lois McMaster Bujold (Best Novel for Barrayar) and Nancy Kress (Best Novella for Beggars in Spain). Because it was signed in situ by a member of the convention staff, this volume provides a verified, concentrated snapshot of the creators presentranging from Golden Age legends like Poul Anderson and Hal Clement to the primary visionaries of the 1990s. The presence of over 60 signatures, including key contributors and award winners, makes this an atypical archival survival of the 50th Anniversary Worldcon.
