BTW, Willie, I now understand you live in the frozen wastes (literally) of Canada!

[We just missed each other... I was in Beckenham, 82 - 91 If you ever went to the Cartoon in Croydon to hear any bands, we might have rubbed shoulders. I was in there a lot. I went to a Horror writer's group in Beckenham around 1988-1990 - run by Scott Dorward. It later turned into the T-Party.... Jael Nuit attended this group and published 'The Hard Core', a cover of which is shown earlier on this thread. And the T-Party later did (effectively a Gary Couzens brainchild) 'Gravity's Angel' (also shown). Not the Cartoon, but Mark Samuels and I often met along with others at the Purley Arms in South Croydon. (He lived in Sydenham at the time). des

Possibly the best thing ever to come out of Croydon I lived just south of Croydon 1971 - 1994. ;D

Thanks, Willie. Great stuff. Many Proustian cakes there for me! The only cover I think you've repeated is the 'masque' - but it's worth repeating! Keep going!

Thanks, Phantomrider. I don't think either of those covers has been shown on this thread before. Also be nice to have a few brief notes about each one. Great to see the Ark still growing! des

Incidently - I'm 99% certain that the cover artist on Cerebretron 6 was Garen Ewing. Thanks, Phantomrider. And good luck with your 'petit madeleines' of the Small Press!

============ Fascinationg stuff, Rog. Especially that old one. I tend to forget all this was going on before I was interested in the Small Press field from the mid-eighties. I could have been interested before then. I was certainly old enough! [Possibly this one's been posted already. If so, here it is again. I think I saw this advertised in Interzone and suspected it was part of a "small press" which I'd heard rumours of. I still had little idea of the changes that were hitting the world of publishing. Curiously, I can see a few names here that I've really only learned recently, suggesting fandom is smaller than it seems. The issue of The Dream Zone I posted was no. 1 - so yours fits in neatly. ======== I think it seems that some of the same names have cropped up on this thread for two reasons: (1) I tended to choose the regular names for my lists. There were many names that were not recorded above. Perhaps that was a bad decision. When I do a one-off thread for some of the mags above, I shall of course give all authors and details. This thread is an initial splurge for me or others to 'pick up' on, I hope. Actually, at the beginning, I intended it as a 'splurge'-for-its-own-sake. An 'experience' like a rollercoaster. Re names, as I implied in my post ending 'END', there were always the Others to contend with! (2) Many authors got published time and time again in our Smalls because they were the best ones or the ones who tried hardest! But some were even better writers but gave up too soon. ==== A Dynasty -- from Craig's 'dynastic' observation above -- of Voices from the Edge. Not, I hope, a Shattered Forum. More a Vicious Circle of Threads (in the nicest possible sense). Baser Pulps giving a Baseline. The only Arkive of things small enough to get under the skin. des Above edited several times until being finally crystallised at 11.30 am (GMT) Batten down the hatches, Rog.

Well done, Des! This has to be the most comprehensive fanzine cover gallery i've seen on the web to date. Thanks, Demonik. I've only really scratched the surface of my collection (ie. there are many more contributor mags plus all my non-contributor mags)! The range of publications is not really covered by the term 'fanzine' I feel. The range, indeed, is very wide, as you can sense from just looking at the covers. Among those many contributor Small Press publications of mine (that I have not included on this thread for the reasons previously given) are also some that I felt were not Small Press at all: Three editions of 'Best New Horror' edited by Stephen Jones. Five editions of 'Year's Best Horror Stories' edited by Karl Edward Wagner. 'Shadows Over Innsmouth' (Fedogan & Bremer leading to mass market publication with other publishers). 'Horror Of The Next Millenium' (Darkside Press leading to mass market paperback). 'Signals: London Magazine' (Constable Books). 'Cthulhu's Heirs' (Chaosium Books). 'Song of Cthulhu' (Chaosium Books). 'Touch Wood' (Little, Brown). 'The Ex Files' (Quartet). 'The Ultimate Zombie' (Dell). 'Horror: Another 100 Best Books' (Carroll & Graf). Stand Magazine. 'The Tiger Garden' (Serpent's Tail) I really enjoyed starting this thread. Thanks for giving it house room. I hope it brings new members who look themselves up on google and end up on this thread! I hope others will continue the splurge of 'orrorfaces with their own covers. For example, I was never in GRUE... The Implosion cover is really one for the others, the true others. des
