QUESTAR

QUESTAR
   US sf magazine; large- BEDSHEET slick format; 13 issues, Spring 1978-Oct 1981; published by M.W. Communications Inc (William G. Wilson and Robert V. Michelucci), Pittsburgh; ed William G. Wilson Jr. The final, redesigned issue, had a new title: Quest/Star, subtitled "The World of Science Fiction".Questar began as a media SEMIPROZINE largely devoted to talkabout COMICS and sf CINEMA, with a sprinkling of not very good stories. \#3 introduced interior colour illustration, and a greater concentration on movies and interviews. Though glossy, it remained insipid. Only with \#13 - for which, astonishingly, H.L. GOLD was dragged from retirement as fiction editor - did Q begin publishing reputable fiction. This was too little, too late. Undercapitalized - and undersold, despite its patchy national distribution from \#7 - Q sank, lamented by few. Publication was irregular, though approximately quarterly.
