Omnivistascope Hat Trick

By John Freeman on 8 July 2007

It has been available for a while, but SFX have just made Omnivistascope 3 their Fanzine Of The Month, giving Paul Scott’s big 78 page A4 zine a hat trick with each of the three issues receiving the title. His previous title, Solar Wind, also won SFX Fanzine Of The Month.

Omnivistascope is a square bound anthology science fiction title with a glossy colour cover surrounding black and white art and, beginning in this issue, articles on comics, television and film.

More details can be found at the Omnivistascope website with details on ordering and as well as details of the back issues and the few remaining available copies of Solar Wind.
