Who Killed Science Fiction?[edit]
The first Safari Annual distributed in 1960 in SAPS and then as a stand-alone fanzine, which took the then-current fretting throughout the SF field that the prozines were dying and with them, SF. It won the 1961 Best Fanzine Hugo. The Kemps asked (by mail) the following questions of 108 prominent people:
- Do you feel that magazine science fiction is dead?
- Do you feel that any single person, action, incident, etc., is responsible for the present situation? If not, what is responsible?
- What can we do to correct it?
- Should we look to the original paperback as a point of salvation?
- What additional remarks, pertinent to the study, would you like to contribute?
