New Tale in Amazing Stories
A new story by Pamela Sargent, "Common Mind," will appear in issue number 600 of Amazing Stories. Amazing Stories #600 is a "centennial" issue, and a very special publication. The magazine is also using reprints from the first five "centennial" issues (100, 200, etc.), with the Sargent story as the one representative of issue 600 (i.e., the present state of the art in SF).
Issue 600 will be available in stores by late December, and will be a Special Edition that carries no date, either a month designation or a seasonal designation. The other fiction authors in the issue are Bernard Brown (issue #100 reprint), Frances M. Deegan (#200), Paul Fairman (#300), Vance Simonds (#400), James Patrick Kelly (#500), and Harlan Ellison, who offers an homage to the pulp action-adventure brand of SF with his novelette "The Toad Prince, or Sex Queen of the Martian Pleasure-Domes."
That issue will also include an "Observatory" essay by Robert Silverberg and a column on movies by George Zebrowski.
