Algol (fanzine)

Algol (fanzine)

"Algol:The Magazine About Science Fiction" was published from 1963-1984 by Andrew Porter. The name was changed to "Starship" late in its run. It won a Hugo Award for Best Fanzine in 1974, in a tie with Richard E. Geis' "Science Fiction Review"; and received a dozen other nominations for the Hugo. Initially a two-page fanzine printed by spirit duplicator, it expanded rapidly, moving to offset covers, then adding mimeographed contents, ultimately becoming a printed publication with the 16th issue. It went to a full color cover with the 24th issue; ultimately the circulation rose to 7,000. Columnists at various times included Ted White, Richard A. Lupoff, Susan Wood, Vincent Di Fate, Robert Silverberg, Frederik Pohl, Joe Sanders and Bhob Stewart.
