Canadian reader Darth has kindly sent in an online link to a site he's created for one of his favourite old magazine's, OMNI. A little gem. Darth's site that is, the magazine itself was HUGE! Like Darth I loved leafing through it - in my case in the Seventies. I had a pile next to my beloved Undercurrents stack [the Hippy in me!]. I remember OMNI providing great theories, stories and facts to heatedly discuss in the kitchens at countless teenage parties circa 1978! [is that geekish?] I have no idea what happened to all my OMNI's but they'll have wieghed a ton so I imagine they were ditched when I moved abroad. Shame. I just can't visualise the covers anymore except for the huge word OMNI at the top. Still, there's always Darth's secret website! Anyone else like OMNI?
PS. Here's another OMNI tribute site.
I recall some schoolfriends got OMNI - one had a father overseas and he I think he got sent issues - so they talked about it at length.
ReplyDeleteThere was an attempt at a British edition called OMNI UK, sometime in the 1980s I think? It only ran for one issue, which I have somewhere...
