And Unearth -- a digest-sized magazine, but it struggled to get shelf space -- it ran for about 2 years.

Still, it was a good time to be a reader.
And a movie goer as well. Star Wars and Star Trek gave a good boost to Science Fiction about that time along with Battlestar Galactica and other programming and it was round that time that I really discovered Science Fiction. I was 6.5 in the summer of 1977.
