Has this title ever been discussed in any forum here? I only have
the first two issues and don't even know if there were others >

They were published in the late 1970s by Doug Wright, a somewhat controversial figure
in the world of fandom. He also hosted a few popular conventions around the same time,
named after his magazine. At one of them, he yelled angrily at me over something or other.
I can't remember what but didn't take it personally. He was doing a lot of yelling that weekend.
He'd wander around the convention floor with his entourage, checking people's wristbands
to make sure they were valid. He even tugged at mine while I was costumed as "Future Man" >

How would I remember such a trivial incident, you ask? I still have the wristband in my scrapbook >

Anyhow reply if you know anything about "SF,H&F" magazine or if you've ever had an encounter with the redoubtable Mr Wright.

Just 2 issues of SFHF. There was a mini boom in mags when Star Wars came out. Most only lasted 1 to a few issues.
