Inside This Issue

The androids are restless: Issue #129 looks at Futureworld — the sequel to the Westworld covered back in Issue #107 — behind a Ken Kelly cover, with Amicus’ At the Earth’s Core and the cult favorite The Green Slime alongside. “When Dracula Invaded England” and “The Daleks Invade England” make it a double British invasion.

☠ Collector's Notes

Sci-fi-heavy issues of this stretch chart FM feeling the genre’s ground shift, and Issue #129 is a clean specimen — Futureworld, At the Earth’s Core, and The Green Slime in one sitting. Kelly’s android cover shows his harder-edged side.
