“Algol: The Magazine About Science Fiction” was published from 1963-1984 by Andrew Porter. The name was changed to Starship in 1979. It won a Hugo Award for Best Fanzine in 1974 and received five other nominations for the Hugo (1973, 1975, 1976, and 1981).

It went to a full color cover with the 24th issue; ultimately the circulation rose to 7,000. Columnists at various times included Ted White, Richard A.
