COSMOS SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY MAGAZINE
- COSMOS SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY MAGAZINE
1. US DIGEST-size magazine. 4 issues, irregular, Sep 1953-July 1954, published by Star Publications; ed L.B. Cole. This was an unremarkable magazine of moderate standard which published no memorable fiction; the actual editing was done by Laurence M. JANIFER. There was a scoop in \#2, "Visitor from Nowhere", an sf story by the mysterious writer of Westerns, B. Traven (?1882-1969).
2. US BEDSHEET-size magazine. 4 issues, bimonthly, May-Nov 1977. Published by Baronet Publishing Co.; ed David G. HARTWELL. CSFFM contained a sophisticated mixture of sf and fantasy in an elegant format which included full-colour interior illustration. It serialized a short novel in Fritz LEIBER's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series, "Rime Isle"; ran Michael BISHOP's "The House of Compassionate Sharers"; and featured a number of other major authors; there was a book-review column by Robert SILVERBERG. CSFAFM had one of the most promising launches of the decade but, undercapitalized and suffering distribution problems, it folded.
