Omni MagazineWelcome to The Omni Magazine Shrine!
brought to you by inkblurt

An Introduction:

For years I've had a post at my blog, inkblurt, about Omni Magazine, something I used to love to read when I was growing up. Over those years, many people have added comments on that post, explaining particular stories or art they had enjoyed, asking if people remembered or had available particular issues or excerpts, and even offering back-issues for sale. Since then I nicknamed it the Omni Magazine Shrine.
But nobody ever answers those comments because it's not set up for discussion or sharing, just commenting. So I figured I'd make a community spot for people to share. Who knows, it could turn into something?
Do you have a personal remembrance about the magazine in general? A question? A topic to discuss? Maybe you have a favorite story, article or illustration you want to share with others or ask about? Go for it.


A housekeeping note: This is an experiment. I have no idea if having a wiki on this will work, but the more people who give it a shot, the better. At first I had it set so anonymous posters could contribute, without signing up to wetpaint, but the few anonymous comments and posts we got were mostly spam or annoyances, so now all you need is to get a WetPaint login (it's EASY!!)

Please be a good wiki citizen :-)

ruffster22 A Little Help Finding an Omni Item? 0 Dec 14 2009, 1:56 PM EST by ruffster22

Can anyone help me?
When Omni first started publishing in the late 1970s, I read in its pages a wonderful little poem about Phoebe, the moon that revolves the wrong way around Saturn. I don't know what year or issue it was published, but it was roughly in the 1978-80 timeframe. I would love to get a copy of that poem. Can anyone help me?
hugs and thanks, Rita

I have 144 issues of Omni and would part with them for 4.50 each.I can send a file with a picture of each one. Most are in excellent condition. If you are interested contact me at hywystr@aol.com. You would have to pay shipping.
