Scott Edelman was the editor of SF AGE Magazine

Here’s what he wrote to me when I told him about this website:

“Thanks for the links! Will wander your site — BTW my favorite conversation with John was the one in which began with him saying something like, “When I first came out of my coma, I thought … ” and told me all about his experience.”

I’m hoping Scout will share more stories for me to post here!

This was a nice large reprinting of Berkey’s 1972 STAR SF 4 cover (which very possibly might have been George Lucas’ inspiration for the Death Star)….
