Here are some highlights from the
November 1957 issue (Vol. 5, #3) of
SCIENCE FICTION QUARTERLY, edited by
Robert A. W. Lowndes and published by Columbia Publications. The cover is by Ed Emsh (a.k.a Ed Emshwiller). The big B&W interior illo shown was drawn by Peter Poulton, for Manly Banister's cover-featured tale, "Escape to Earth."
The
"Inside Science Fiction" column is especially interesting because of its recognition of the 25th anniversary of the early SF fanzine
The Time Traveller (from 1932) and the reviews of then-current (1957) SF fanzines. (Including one that had an early article about comics by
Jim Harmon, and a fanzine published by
Bill Pearson, later publisher of
witzend.)
The lettercol contains a long back-and-forth between editor Lowndes and reader Dr. Raymond Wallace, and ends (on the last page) with a letter from the newly-pro writer
Harlan Ellison. Also shown here are some house ads, including one depicting
Edward Hoch's long-running mystery character
Simon Ark.
