Algol: The Magazine About Science Fiction was published from 1963 to 1984 by Andrew Porter. The headquarters was in New York City.[1] The name was changed to Starship in 1979.[2]
It won a Hugo Award for Best Fanzine in 1974, in a tie with Richard E. Geis' Science Fiction Review;[3] and received five other nominations for the Hugo (1973, 1975, 1976, and 1981).[4] Initially a two-page fanzine printed by spirit duplicator, it expanded rapidly, moving to offset covers, then adding mimeographed contents, ultimately becoming a printed publication with the 16th issue. It went to a full color cover with the 24th issue; ultimately the circulation rose to 7,000. Columnists at various times included Ted White, Richard A. Lupoff, Susan Wood, Vincent Di Fate, Robert Silverberg, Frederik Pohl, Joe Sanders, and Bhob Stewart.
