When I was a wee lad ….
I loved sci-fi books and mags and would read Omni, another great US sci-fi and science digest of the 80’s.
The other more vintage magazines I would grab were my father’s.
Since these mags were his ‘grown up’ books, all the better! Luckily for me, he kept the vintage pulp he had read from his late teens, in the attic.
When the boxes were brought down, I discovered Titles like Analog, Galaxy, Fantasy and Science Fiction and many more.

I love the artwork, and the simple clean look of the type. The sans style not distracting the viewer from the art, reminding the reader of the more sophisticated content they are about to read. Stories from the likes of Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov.

The mags were usually bi-monthly and crammed with some of the best sci fi writers of the time. The artworks were produced using color lithography, the headlines, usually hand drawn, then photo set.

Below is a selection of some of the best out there, from that golden era.
