<p>Out of curiosity, I bid on issue No. 75 of <em>Cinema 63</em> that was up for auction on eBay in France. The magazine arrived promptly, fairly reeking of mildew and with pages cracking off the spine, but despite all that I got a real kick out of reading “Cinemois” by Jean Pierre Melville.

<p>The first time I saw Stan Lee was at <strong>Chicago ComicCon</strong> in 1976.</p>
<p>I was living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the first major Comicon in the Windy City (slated for August of that year) was enough to get me on Amtrak for the multi-day journey to Chicago. The train left from the old Alvorado station, where the nearby Alvorado Hotel had been torn down

<p>The collaborative effort to run FutureCon can be proud of their accomplishment: they’ve built upon the first conference one year ago and made it to a second year, full of the same energy and enthusiasm that they started with. I congratulate one and all the organizers, as well as the writers, artists, publishers, anthologists, editors, readers and fans who joined in! </p>
<p>It is great to report that many of the hoped for projects – to create new anthologies in local languages, to translate speculative fiction works int

<p>You will find yourself inside of multiple points of view in Seb Doubinsky’s City-State novels. You’ll wake up in a strange place, wondering who you are and how you got there.</p>

<p>In a recent interview, Ted White talked about his early career as a jazz writer, when he was hanging around in the clubs of Greenwich Village, and how he first got published in <em>Rogue Magazine</em>. His comments sparked my curiosity about that magazine, which was a magnet for talented and eccentric writers and editors. How did a semi-sleazy magazine for men become a cross-roads for so many talented writers and editors? And why were so many
