Science Fiction Monthly was a British science fiction magazine published for 28 issues from 1974-1976. The characteristic feature of the magazine was its large page size (apprx. 15-3/4” x 11-1/8”) , roughly equivalent to a newspaper and the fact that it was published as a loose leaf magazine (factory folded in half). This format enabled poster-size reproductions of science fiction illustrations by featured artists to be a major part of the magazine (much of the artwork spreads over two pages and is therefore poster size). The magazine also ran feature articles on artists, reprinted some vintage magazine covers on its large page size, as well as containing sci-fi stories, essays, editorials & news. Very few complete copies of the magazine survived as most issues were taken to pieces and used as posters.
