Robert Lowndes did more with less than just about anyone else editing fiction magazines, and certainly some of the folks and some of the work he published in his Columbia and Health Knowledge magazines compare favorably with that in any other magazine...I understand the novel is pretty weak tea for Moore, Just Another Comic Inferno, but I haven't, a dozen years later, tried to read it yet. I was gratified by the esteem in which Edward Hoch still held Lowndes, when I met Hoch in 2001...Hoch and Carol Emshwiller being perhaps the primest "discoveries" of RAWL in his Columbia magazines...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-15559537851563374402016-04-02T19:25:04.276-04:002016-04-02T19:25:04.276-04:00Very much enjoyed your detailed look at this issue...Very much enjoyed your detailed look at this issue of a magazine I liked. Although the first SF mag I read was Amazing but the first I bought new at a news stand was this one and its sister Future. I collected all 4 issues with the Moore/Bradford novel but never read it even though I loved everything I've read by Ward (no relation) Moore. I've also have the pub somewhere in my stacks. Time to rectify this oversight. When the serial began the mag still had color pictorial cover. I always included the "Original" in the title back then even though I learned later that even the digest incarnation began without it. <br /><br />Great fun reading your analysis.Richard Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770090814220403413noreply@blogger.com
