The latest issue of The Paperback Fanatic, a title edited and published by Justin Marriott since 2007, will be published by the end of November.
Issue 49 runs to 72 pages in full colour, with articles on Robert Lory, an American writer of speculative fiction, predominantly known for the Horrorscope, Shamryke Odell, Return of Dracula, and Trovo fiction series; Barry Hammond, author of the 1982 novel, Cold Front, poetry editor (and former fiction editor) for On Spec, Canada’s magazine of science fiction, fantasy and horror since 1991; Pyramid SF paperbacks, World War Two assassination thrillers, plastic surgery in paperback crime and thrillers, Kung Fu movie tie-ins, sleaze, shudder pulps, gothics, westerns and more.
Justin began publishing his flagship fanzine The Paperback Fanatic in 2007. In the years since then he has added Battling Britons, Pulp Horror, Men of Violence and more.
Justin’s fanzines are crammed with fascinating articles about authors, artists and publishers, and include overviews of books that can lead you to new reading adventures. Lavishly illustrated with cover scans and other photos, they’re well worth checking out.
• Back issues of Paperback Fanatic, and Justin’s other titles – Battling Britons, Paperbook Fantastic, and Sleazy Rider, to name but a few! – are available from AmazonUK (Affiliate Link)
