The Unique Magazine

(Oxymoronically, we have other Uniques.)

The Unique Magazine was a fanzine produced by Arthur F. Williams of London, UK in 1941-2. There were at least three issues.

Futurian War Digest #14 (November 1941) implies the first issue may have been co-produced with Ken Bulmer and that the title was to be ‘devoted … to well-written fan fiction’.

Futurian War Digest #17 (February 1942) described the second issue:

‘With the exception of a poem, editorial and drawing of a spaceship, the contents consist of fiction by Duane Rimel, J. E. Rennison, Joe Gilbert, and Doc Lowndes. It’s a nice little magazine with quite an atmosphere about it, though one reason why it appeals to me, I feel sure, is because of its resemblance to the format of Novae Terrae; making you think of the dear departed days.’

It was succeeded by Trends, a fanzine that ironically was 'unique' in that most issues were single-copy for circulation amongst British fans.
