Who Killed Science Fiction?[edit]

Cover by Ed Emshwiller.

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.

  1. Do you feel that magazine science fiction is dead?
  2. Do you feel that any single person, action, incident, etc., is responsible for the present situation? If not, what is responsible?
  3. What can we do to correct it?
  4. Should we look to the original paperback as a point of salvation?
  5. What additional remarks, pertinent to the study, would you like to contribute?
