VORTEX

VORTEX
    1. UK small- BEDSHEET size magazine. 5 issues Jan-May 1977, published by Shalmead (Jan-Feb), Container Publications (Mar), Cerberus Publishing (Apr-May); ed. Keith Seddon. V was a glossy magazine with some interior illustration in full Colour.
    The first 3 covers, by Rodney MATTHEWS, suggested an orientation towards fantasy which was not evident in the actual magazine. \#1-\#4 serialized Michael MOORCOCK's The End of All Songs (1976); \#5 contained the 1st instalment of The Chaos Weapon (1977) byColin KAPP. Other stories were for the most part experimental pieces by previously unknown authors, such as Ravan Christchild, who in most cases were pseudonyms of the editor. The circulation never looked like covering the high production costs.

    2. The VORTEX
   US FANZINE. 2 issues 1947, ed Gordon M. Kull and George R. Cowie from San Francisco. TV is listed in some indexes as a professional SF MAGAZINE, but the fiction in \#1 was by unknown amateurs and it was distributed free. It was attractively printed on glossy paper. \#2 had name writers like David H. KELLER and Stanley MULLEN, but was mainly mimeographed.
