'''''Vector''''' is the [[critic]]al journal of the [[BSFA]], started in 1958. It placed in the [[Checkpoint Fan Poll]] for 1971/72, and 1973/74. In its best times, especially between late 1970s and early 2000s, it was roughly bimonthly. It incorporated ''[[Paperback Inferno]]'' (founded as ''Paperback Parlour'' in 1977 as its smaller and slightly nimbler, bimonthly sibling for paperbacks) after its #97 in 1992.

The editorial history is very complex and not quite fully captured below yet, but it seems more useful to use ISFDB for such purposes.

(Did you mean the Harlan Ellison fanzine?)

Vector is the critical journal of the BSFA, started in 1958. It placed in the Checkpoint Fan Poll for 1971/72, and 1973/74. In its best times, especially between late 1970s and early 2000s, it was roughly bimonthly. It incorporated Paperback Inferno (founded as Paperback Parlour in 1977 as its smaller and slightly nimbler, bimonthly sibling for paperbacks) after its #97 in 1992.

The editorial history is very complex and not quite fully captured below yet, but it seems more useful to use ISFDB for such purposes.
