Cover – Nik Morton. This also featured the box: ‘An Ad lib magazine’; the plan was to amalgamate with another local short story magazine, Ad Lib, the brainchild of Portsmouth journalist Bob Jenkins; unfortunately, it died a death due to distribution problems. The little ‘Ad lib’ box didn’t appear again. The ‘South Hants’ label was dropped and it became the ‘Science Fiction & Fantasy Quarterly Magazine’ for two issues!
Interior illustrations by Kelvin Cox, Colin P Davies, John Light and Nik Morton.
