Covers lightly worn, clean, very good condtion. This is a reissue of the first four issues of "Aurealis", with a new introduction written for this collectors' edition by George Turner and a new foreword by the editors Dirk Strasser and Stephen Higgins. "Aurealis" is Australia's longest running small-press science-fiction and fantasy magazine. It was launched in September 1990 to provide a market for speculative fiction writers, with a particular emphasis on raising the profile of Australian authors. The new introduction and foreword for this combined collectors' edition reflect on the success of the first four issues of "Aurealis", and the state of science fiction publishing in Australia generally. The four issues here include a wide variety of short stories and feature articles, with occasional b&w illustrations. The colour cover illustration for this edition is by the now acclaimed Western Australian artist Shaun Tan. There are also two full page b&w illustrations, one of which is signed "Tan '91" and the other is not visibly signed but is in his style. The interior ilustrations are not credited on the copyright page, but some later issues (see for example issue 5) credit Shaun Tan for the interior art. Tan would have been 18 at the time of this collectors' edition, and his colour cover illustration predates his first published book by five years: it is possibly his first published work.
