How Did You Discover Fortean Times Magazine?

[Mythopoeika]

I think Bizarre magazine was also John Brown Publishing at the same time. I remember Fortean Times once describing it accurately as our delinquent little Sister.

There was plenty of Forteana in Bizarre, which is why I'd buy it occasionally. But it became increasingly a soft-porn lad mag and I was a bit embarrassed about buying it.

Exactly why I also stopped buying it Mytho .. I'm not a prude either but it turned more into a fetish mag IMO like if this forum became too much about strange sex instead. Good luck to the pervs though.

I said i was unsure how i discovered it, i think, now, i remember, i believe it may have been when someone recommended this site to me

I've got the first 100 or so issues of Bizarre (even scored Letter of the Month once - including photo!) but I stopped buying for the same reason. I think it was around the time they started putting a sealed 'adults only' bit in there.

That old guy with the rubber trouser fetish that used to do a column every month was pretty funny.

First time I saw the FT was at Forbidden Planet in the early 80's when they were at Denmark Street. Timble2, definetly remember Dark They Were And Golden Eyed, just off Wardour Street. That took back a few years!!!!

Got introduced to it by a friend at school in the late 80s who has the bound compilations of earlier issues.

Never really bought it myself until it started popping up in newsagents in the 90s.

I presume in a newsagents near me in 96 I think, I bought one or two issues, then subscribed. Prior to that I'd been reading Encounters, which became Uri Geller's Encounters, then disappeared. Can't say I missed it.
