PSYCHOTIC

PSYCHOTIC
   US FANZINE, ed Richard E. GEIS; begun 1953; after 20 issues retitled Science Fiction Review for 3 issues in 1955; then stopped publishing. Geis resumed it with Psychotic \#21 in 1967, then again changed the title to Science Fiction Review from \#28. It was by this time printing more seriousreviews and interviews, though its main feature remained Geis's amusing, rambling, personal comments. As Science Fiction Review it won a HUGO for Best Fanzine in 1969 and 1970; in its first incarnation Science FictionReview ended with \#43, Mar 1971, at which point it had a circulation, unusually high for a fanzine, of 1700. The editor also won 7 Hugos as Best Fan Writer; 6 were for his work in The ALIEN CRITIC , a later fanzine hebegan in 1973 and which itself, confusingly, underwent a change of title to Science Fiction Review in 1975.
