''Outlands'' was a semi-professional science fiction-based magazine, only one issue of which was ever produced. Outlands was published by Outlands Publications in England in the winter of 1946. It was digest size, 40 pages long, and cost 1/6d.〔(Outlands Checklist )〕〔(Magazines Page Of Ultimate Science Fiction Web Guide )〕〔(Magazine Data File )〕 The magazine was edited by Leslie J. Johnson, who had used his RAF gratuity to establish Outlands with fellow science-fiction fans. He edited the magazine from his home in Liverpool. ''Outlands'' included original stories by John Russell Fearn and Sydney J. Bounds.〔(FanHistorical Archive Collection )〕〔(The Guide to Paperbacks, Pamphlets, and Digests ( Science Fiction, Fantasy, Weird & Occult, 1930-1961) )〕〔(The Adelphi Coracle 2 )〕 A second issue of ''Outlands'' was never produced - even though it was advertised as being available in December - as distributors declined to handle it.〔http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=BjI4-qex0JgC&pg=PA202&lpg=PA202&dq=outlands+magazine+1946&source=web&ots=8j3iZrwmvL&sig=TcquQjXN3AHLdAVdm-TUe4xBuNM&hl=en〕 ==Stories== Bounds' debut professional sale under his own name appears in the first issue. 'Strange Portrait' is a macabre story based on the concept of The Picture of Dorian Gray in which a 'living' painting acts out the murderous jealousies of artist David Guest. The publication of his story left Bounds feeling that his post-war career as an electrical fitter seemed less inviting than one writing fiction.〔(sydney j. bounds interviewed at - zone-sf.com )〕 The only story title displayed on the cover was 'Pre-Natal' by Fearn.〔 "The Opaque Word" by Anthony Cotrion also appeared, alongside fiction by George C. Wallis and an obituary of H.G. Wells, who had only recently died on August 13, 1946.〔〔(Lot of 3 issues - PBA Galleries, Auctions & Appraisers )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outlands (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
