Reviews
"Escape" which should have been listed among the monthly publications, is something which one will either enjoy very much or find entirely unworthy of attention. It is whimsy and fugitive creativity in the Wllson-Kornbluth manner. Unrestrictive to material contained so long as it is not serious. The mimeographing is clear, the content good if you like that type. It tackles everyone. Your writer is among those who think it swelegant.Robert A. W. Lowndes in Scientifan issue 2 page 7 (January 1940)
Published by Richard Wilson, Jr., 22 large size pages, mimeo- and hektographed. Escape was one of the few convention magazines which was unspecialized and contained a general variety of interesting material. 18 of the pages are mimeographed, and are the "Escape”' portion of the mag. Four of the pages are hektographed on yellow paper and are sections of the uncompleted "First Anniversary" "Science Fiction News Letters". There is a rediculouslypoor [sic] cover by Leslie Perri, a long, interesting tho slightly dry treatise on time-travel by F. N. and R. D. Swisher (a fragment from their 100 page volume). A Passingly interesting sketch of "The Londoners!" by Ken Chapman, and a variety of reasonably fair material by Forrest Jay, Georges H. Gallet, Allen Zweig, Cryril Kornbluth, Elmer Perdue, Jack Speer, Peter J. Gisbourne and a few others. This is the first of a series.
