The latest issue of Albedo One, Issue 44, has arrived with an eye-catching cover by Charlie Terrell, whose tumblr site showcases a range of similar digital art featuring almost exclusively young females, with a number of them, as in this picture, semi-naked. Male readers of SF, are we still happy in 2013 for This Kind of Thing? Should we not be offering our daughters, sisters and nieces a better prospect for the future than simply donning a Princess Amidala hairstyle and headress and getting their tits out??
Leaving the issue about the nudie cover to one side, interior design in the magazine is improving. Stories this issue are ‘The Trufflehounds of Romantic Passion and Desire’ by Ian Wild, ‘A Fine Red with a Hint of Nuts’ by James Carney, ‘Purgatory Central’ by Steve Billings, ‘Operation Stack’ by Alexandra Fleetwood, ‘The Other One’ by Dave Siddall, and ‘For Your Entertainment’ by Eric M. Witchey.
Robert Nielson interviews Simon Morden, and there are book reviews by Juliet E. McKenna, John Kenny, Peter Loftus and David Conyers.
