AD ASTRA

AD ASTRA
   UK magazine, small-BEDSHEET format, published by Rowlot Ltd, ed James Manning, 16 issues, bimonthly, Oct/Nov 1978-Sep/Oct 1981, only first 2 issues dated. Its subtitle, Britain's First ScienceFact/ScienceFiction Magazine, contained the seeds of its eventual demise. It attempted to cover too many fields, most in no real depth. The fiction (about 2 stories an issue) - mainly from UK authors, including John BRUNNER, Garry KILWORTH, David LANGFORD and Ian WATSON - was supplemented by a melange of film, book, games and theatre reviews, together with cartoon strips, sf news (from Langford), science articles, many about astronomy, and PSEUDO-SCIENCE articles.
