Note: This was the overarching title for a series of articles which Michael Bishop wrote for Doug Fratz's fanzine Thrust (later Quantum). Earlier pieces were original, with later ones being either pre-publication of pieces already sold to other publishers or a recombination of previously published reviews with new connecting material. The series began in Thrust #13 (1979) and continued until the publication's last issue, Quantum #43/44 (1993).
