		The majority of Americans, before the 1950s, never encountered any science fiction other than in the "funny papers", and assumed all SF was just like comic strip science fiction, thus the phrase, used as an insult but later fondly adopted by some fans, "that crazy Buck Rogers stuff".
		Radio science fiction began by adapting Buck and Flash stories for radio, but later brought some of the best magazine science fiction to a larger audience with Dimension X and X Minus One, which adapted stories by Heinlein, Asimov, Leiber, and other major writers for radio.
		The premiere literary awards of science fiction, the Hugo Awards, are awarded by members of the annual Worldcon, which is almost entirely run by fan volunteers; the other major science fiction literary award is the Nebula.

	Weird Menace Pulps and Supernatural Detection
		These tales, in turn, served as ancestors to the "weird menace" pulps of the 1930's, in which apparently supernatural phenomena are ultimately revealed to be the natural work of human agencies.
		This gives a certain continuity to the weird story tradition, distinct from the central line of 20th Century impossible crime writing (Leroux, Chesterton, Carr and his successors), which tended to use instead the "rearrangements in space and time approach" analyzed by Carr in his "Locked Room Lecture".
		It is not clear whether the weird menace writers were directly influenced by Hodgson and his "supernatural mystery" contemporaries, or whether they simply hit upon the same sort of explanation for the apparent supernatural events in their stories.

	Science fiction - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Image:Scifibooks.jpg Science fiction is a genre of fiction in which advances in science, or contact with more scientifically advanced civilizations, create situations different from those of both the present day and the known past.
		The broader category of speculative fiction includes science fiction, fantasy, alternative histories (which often have no particular scientific or futuristic component), and even literary stories where the only fantastic element is the strangeness of their style.
		A science fiction writer is generally not trying to write a history of the future that they believe will happen, any more than a writer of westerns is trying to create a historically accurate depiction of the old West.

	How do you like your Weird/Mad Science? - RPGnet Forums
		For a slightly odder scenario, some Weird Science draws on other principles entirely (psychic or magic, for example) and cannot be duplicated at all...but there are still a few nuggets of real science hidden away.
		It seems a bit of a downer for the Weird Scientist to have to conform to the rules of science as we know them, but it's also good for them to be able to whip up ordinary science too.
		I think the best weird science has a type of order to it, so that no matter how odd the gizmo is, you can make the mental leap from point A to point Q and it makes a bizarre kind of sense.

	IMDb user comments for Weird Science (1985) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Weird Science is one hell of a funny film and John Hughes is responsible for that, but if Chet wasn't played by Bill Paxton then it just wouldn't have been the same.
		Weird Science is the product of the prolific '80s' writer/director John Hughes (who later went on to create films such as 'Home Alone').
		To be honest, Weird Science is synonymous with that decade and reflects most if not all, of its hopes and aspirations (computers in every home, robotic servants etc.).

	BILL MORGAN'S "WEIRD SCIENCE"
		Bill boasted that nobody had ever been able to find a single error in his "Weird Science", yet glancing through it, I found errors in every single frame of every single page and immediately identified them as standard errors and false claims found throughout the creationist literature.
		It has slightly better artwork than "Weird Science" had, but I found most of the material and claims to be pretty much the same as the original's.
		If you have any comments on "Weird Science" or on my critique, please email me. If you had already encountered "Weird Science" and had pointed out any of its errors to Bill, I would definitely like to hear about it and what Bill's response was.

	Did you Know...?: Space Opera in the Comics (and Beyond)
		And by the early '30s, science fiction came to the comic strips, in the form of Buck Rogers, in both the daily papers and in the Sunday sections.
		The first comic books with science fiction themes were titles like Planet Comics and Science Comics, which were basically cops and robbers stories played out on a science fiction backdrop.
		And although the Atlas comics and the ACG comics of the same period (1950-54) had occasional sparkles of brilliance, no other comic books have approached the stature of Weird Science and Weird Fantasy in the eyes of sci-fi fans.

		Weird Science is common in bad Science Fiction, but does not generally apply to cases where the writers step outside the bounds of known science by applying generous quantities of phlebotinum to circumvent the normal rules.
		There are cases where Weird Science can result from discoveries made after the show was written.

		The Ballantine Original science fiction and fantasy books are hands down the most memorable of the titles published in the 1950's and 1960's.
		One of the Awful Truths about science fiction is it's internal irony of being by nature a fiction which is absolutely dependent on vision of the most imaginative sort, yet in whose works is found very little truly visionary output.
		Perhaps the most startlingly stylish of the science fiction paperback series, both in physical appearance and in importance to the history of the genre, the Ballantine Originals are an excellent focus for the collecting obsession.

		EC was one of the few comic companies to really get at the bleakness of science fiction in the postwar age -- and the tales in these titles are a mindblowing blend of paranoia that stretches across a galaxy of the mind.
		Two years later, the FBI followed through on the Army's request and asked the Attorney General whether the comics violated the law, but their request was probably moot, since by this time the Korean War was nearly over, and almost all of the war comics had ceased publication.
		The comic strip in question includes a squad of FBI agents led by "the Chief" in the investigation of the kidnapping of a nuclear scientist, assisted by busty Annie Fanny.

	World's Worst Comic Book Museum
		Not all of the comics whose covers are displayed here are genuinely bad - some are really pretty good, just WEIRD or offbeat in some way - but many of them are misconceived or poorly executed.
		Not all of the bad ones display their full badness on the front cover - all of them must be read in full to be truly appreciated.
		I gave some thought to different ways of sorting or grouping the displays, but when a comic contains mainstream superheroes, corporate icons, and educational material, it spans too many genres to fit anywhere.

		EC Comics was arguably the most innovative and controversial company in the history of mainstream comic-book publishing.
		At a time when the mass entertainment industry in general remained captive to conservative financial and political concerns, such social criticism was seldom to be found in popular media offerings, and EC comic books rank collectively as perhaps the most subversive work produced for profit by an entertainment enterprise during the McCarthy era.
		To say that violence and murder were commonplace in these comics, hardly begins to do justice to stories wherein people were chopped to pieces, ground into pulp, deep-fried, and even eaten.
