I'm sure I have that Not at Night issue 1, because it was one of a small press lucky dip got from Des's eBay page. It's here somewhere...  And courtesy of Mr Marriot, here's From The Tomb issue 13 from June 2004. This is an electric chair special, featuring comic art from the '40s written and drawn just for those adorable comic fans who relish seeing hoods and their molls dragged screaming and weeping to the hot seat. From the Hot Seat by editor Peter "Throw the Switch" Normanton who also seems to have written Small Press and a review of The Complete Saga of the Victims (I put up a page on that here). Crime and Unusual Punishment: The Electric Chair Fact File by Frank "squeegee" Motler The Very Best of Warren's Creepy by Peter Enfantino The Covers that Made them Fry by Richard Byard Bitter-Sweet! The Late Romance Comics of Matt Baker by Archer St John (Teen-Age Temptations looks right at home here). Black Hearts, a 5 page comic by John M Matthews, based on a true story (it says). And Hank Chapman Man of Mystery in The Last Voice You Hear, an illustrated article by... Peter Coady! Plus reviews and Bark of the Birch: Your Mother Wouldn't Like It by Paul H Birch - not BDSM but you'd still like it, it's about those gorgeous racks of magazines we used to hang around in corner shops. This is one of the covers reproduced inside. I had to join an auction site to nick this scan! That was riskier than joining Des's forum to steal The Flying Worm.  Serves ya'll right for bandying around disgusting terms like pol****cally co***ct on that Thinking Man's Crumpet thread. From the Tomb issue 15 January 2005 This issue doesn't seem to have a theme. Terror Waits in the Ice and Snow by Peter Normanton From the Bookshelf (by same) It's an Entertaining Comic: Crime Suspense Stories by Peter Enfantino Small Press (Normanton) Paperback Frighteners by Peter Coady (The Pan Horrors) Adventures Into the Unknown by Barry Forshaw The Horrors of War by Frank Wilmot Mails to the Tomb Edgar Allan Poe's Dreams adapted by James Fletcher The Miller's Tale by Frank Motler, Doc Garriock & Michael Harvey The Miller Index (part 1) Better Off Dead by John M Matthews Bad American Comics Presents: Stir Fry! by Frank "infernal" Motler No One Escapes the Chair! Al Feldstein's Shock #1 Revisited (more electric chairs). |

Unhinged #5 (1999) A Magazine of Disturbing FictionI think this might be its last issue. Editor/Publisher: Paul Lockey Cover: Desmond Knight Contains work by Lauren Halkon, DJ Tyrer (editor of Monomyth?), David Price, Steve Redwood and many others. The Dream Zone #1 (1999) An anthology of dark fictionA longish-running mag run by delightfully crazy Paul Bradshaw. Not seen one for a while, though. This is the very first issue. Contains work by Matthew Firth, Andrew Hook (owner of Elastic Press), Sarah Crabtree, Neil K Henderson, Rhys Hughes, Clifford Thurlow, Gavin Salisbury, LH Maynard & MPN Sims, John B Ford, Tim Lebbon and others. Cover: Steve Lines Are you enjoying these mag covers? Do they represent the real underbelly of pulp? Or are you getting fed up with them? Am I unhinged in attempting this!? If you are simply getting fed up with my choice, please put some up of your own choosing (and thanks to those who have already done so).
I have hundreds more horror/fantasy mags yet to post here.
Also hundreds of non-genre fiction mags & journals (also being contributor copies of mine like the genre ones) which I do not intend to post on this thread. Maybe another thread elsewhere for latter?des

If you are simply getting fed up with my choice, please put some up of your own choosing (and thanks to those who have already done so). I have hundreds more horror/fantasy mags yet to post here. Personally, I think it's a great idea to post these here. I'm enjoying them anyway. And since you probably have a larger collection than most of us, Des, it's to be expected that you're the one who's posting most covers. If you're not fed up with posting them, I'd say keep on doing what you're doing!  |

Des, I agree with Charles and Caroline (the latter now suitably chastised since her slip of yesterday, one hopes. Living dangerously will be the death of me.  ) Seeing Unhinged and Not at Night has reminded me that I had a few small press mags aside from the SF ones of the '70s (these of less interest to Vault members, probably). The artwork on some of the covers makes the thread a good one even if we don't have them ourselves. I am wondering if it's worth starting a second thread before this one gets too big to find anything on. Don't know what others think. |

I am wondering if it's worth starting a second thread before this one gets too big to find anything on. Don't know what others think. Thanks, Rog, Dr T, Caroline... My feeling about the above point specifically is that it should stay on one thread, because this is not intended to be a systematic, historic document but a vehicle (ark) for wild animals, for a splurge of the baser pulps, a hunger-deck cresting the zinic-routes of black imagination, where the enjoyment is random, browsing the 'orrorfaces of yesteryear, white-water rafting, even wading through unexpected dream zones, a colour symphony of images... To find some would be to lose others. |

Cover by James Cawthorn First published 1973 by Unicorn Fantasy The first sentence of Lin Carter's introduction to volume 2 of Flashing Swords reads "You have never read any of the stories in this book before, because they are all brand-new ones, written especially for this second volume of Flashing Swords..." Flashing Swords 2 was published 1974 in the States, 1975 in Great Britain. But this little number, a 75-page booklet attractively printed in dark-green ink, with cover by Moorcock's mate Jim Cawthorn, is one I bought new in a Truro high street shop in '73. I'm not sure if it's small-press at all. Later I'll move it to a Moorcock thread. |

I've been looking for where you used the term - and failing to find it. Shhhh! Don't tell her that! Sorry to highjack the Ark again, but I had to put the record straight on this one. It's on Coral's thread calling for submissions to her new mag. In fact, if you look closely, you'll see the first person who made a PC suggestion on that thread (about the title of the mag) was none other than ..... er, Rog. I guess he thought I hadn't noticed! |

Heaven forbid that I should sink so low. No, I was merely pointing out that the magazine name might lose you some contributors and readers. Sheesh! That was a close one! |
