FANGORIA is the great survivor of genre magazines. Spun-off from STARLOG in 1979, it hastily dumped its poorly-recieved 'fantasy' remit to become the pure horror magazine we're all familiar with. At the height of the Starlog Group's success it spawned several spin-off titles and - when the magazine market went south - dodged bankruptcy several times, outlasting Starlog itself. It's still published today.
Here's a few selected pages from that first issue. I've picked-out (shocker!) the
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA related items ("we're as mad as frack, and we won't take it any more!") including the article on Battlestar's 'lost' aliens which isn't as revelatory as the title might suggest.
