  • Type: FANZINE
  • Cover: SF Commentary, #32 / The Journal of Omphalistic Epistemology, #6 by Paula
  • Notes:
    • Side-stapled.
    • A combined edition of SF Commentary #32 and The Journal of Omphalistic Epistemology #6, functioning as a single shared publication, not a back-to-back publication.
    • Only The Journal of Omphalistic Epistemology appears on the cover.
    • Confusingly, SF Commentary #32 gives the publication date as February 1973, but as The Journal of Omphalistic Epistemology #6 it is dated November 1972. As a shared publication, for ISFDB purposes the date for SF Commentary has been selected as the publication date as this is the date correctly attached to the physical publication of the fanzine.
    • The entire fanzine is a series of 100 quotes of varying length concerning the nature of science fiction, from a variety of authors and critics, selected and excerpted by John Foyster from cited essays and publications.
    • This issue (as SF Commentary) contains no pricing information; The Journal of Omphalistic Epistemology has no cover price.
