Tesseract

The Magazine of the SFAS

[SFAS Home] : [Event Horizon | Contact | Tesseract | Voyager's Log]

Tesseract was the magazine of the Science Fiction Association (Singapore), published for three years (1990 - 1992). Even now, we believe that it still stands out as a solid example of what can be achieved in publishing in Singapore.

Every issue contained a selection of high-quality features, fiction, artwork, and more. The magazine drew praise from SF greats such as Brian Aldiss and Ben Bova, and had readers from the Malaysia, UK, the USA, Canada, Brazil, and (the now-former) Czechoslovakia.

Perhaps the time just wasn't right. There was never a time when Tesseract wasn't struggling financially. The sales and ad revenue was just not coming in in sufficient quantity to cover the costs. Worse, most of its readers weren't actually reading much of the magazine, and non-readers didn't intend to start, finding it "too deep".

Tesseract ceased publication at the end of 1992.

Here, we present a gallery of Tesseract covers. (Each thumbnail links to a large version of itself.) Watch this space: we hope to make available online soon some articles and fiction from past issues.
