VERTEX

VERTEX
   US magazine, slick BEDSHEET format Apr 1973-Apr 1975, tabloid format June 1975-Aug 1975. 16 issues, 13 bimonthly, the last 3 monthly, published by Mankind Publishing, Los Angeles; ed Donald J. PFEIL. Subtitled "The Magazine of Science Fiction", V was a magazine of imaginative layout and much internal illustration, the first "slick" in the sf field. The covers were often semi-abstract. Like most SF MAGAZINES since the 1970s, V ran many nonfiction pieces: interviews with authors and good science-fact articles. Stories were by, among others, Ed BRYANT, F.M. BUSBY, Terry CARR, George Alec EFFINGER, Joe HALDEMAN, William ROTSLER, RobertSILVERBERG and Norman SPINRAD. V was something of a showcase for up-and-coming US authors like Alan BRENNERT, William CARLSON, George R.R. MARTIN, Steven UTLEY and John VARLEY, and in quality was the strongest ofthe new 1970s sf magazines, but financial problems (at $1.50 it was unusually expensive) and a paper shortage forced a change to newspaper format on cheap paper for the last 3 issues, then closure.
