You all have no doubt noticed the banner and side bar on this page promoting the new publication from Dead Letter Press/Rocket Science Books, BLACK INFINITY. After over a year-and-a-half, the science-fiction magazine it has been revived by editor and publisher Tom English. This, the 11th issue is themed "survive--or die" and includes a number of classic sci-fi reprints by notable authors Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison and more. In addition, there is a beatifully-reproduced Thun'da strip by Frank Frazetta and coverage of two of Byron Haskin's space-survival films, CONQUEST OF SPACE and ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS. The wrap-around cover is by the legendary dinosaur artist Charles R. Knight.
Tom was kind enough to invite me to write an article on another science-fiction film about survival for this issue. We decided on covering ONE MILLION YEARS B.C., the 1966 Hammer film starring Raquel Welch, John Richardson and featuring the incredible stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen. Although I had another article on this topic published earlier this year in PREHISTORIC TIMES, there is enough material about the film that there ended up being just a minimal amount of overlap between the two.
Please support Tom's remarkable efforts in putting out another 146-page tome of great material that will keep you entertained for hours by considering a purchase.
I have mine in the cart and after the sales blackout on Amazon is lifted, I will have it winging its way to me. Looking forward to any article on the lovely Ms. Welch.
