Cosmos was a fanzine edited by J. Edward Rennison in the UK. Most issues appeared as riders to Futurian War Digest with the first five issues bound with FWD. From #4, Arthur F. Williams was credited as art editor.
The British Fanzine Bibliography identifies a two-page untitled supplement – or perhaps simply an unnumbered issue – distributed with FWD #16.
The much larger #6 was distributed independently. J. Michael Rosenblum reviewed it in Futurian War Digest #17:
Tis a nice little magazine of 18 half-foolscap pages, well mimeographed by Dennis Tucker and plentifully and charmingly embellished with Arthur Williams inimitable little pictures. Stories by Ron Holmes, Don Doughty and Don Houston are of a surprisingly high standard for fan fiction and articles by Messrs Silburn, Gibson, Bulmer and Gardner, whilst not reaching quite the same standard, are thoroughly enjoyable. Renny says that maybe there will be another issue some day, we sincerely hope so.
