London Opinion

This publication absorbed (or perhaps replaced?) Barry Pain's weekly To-Day, circa July 1905; original format unknown, but in a later incarnation, probably from 1939, it was a digest-sized monthly magazine resembling Men Only and Lilliput, and it carried some fiction as well as cartoons, humorous squibs, etc.

It absorbed The Humorist in August 1940 and was absorbed by Men Only at some point in the 1950s.

The London Pioneer

Had success with a salacious serial by Mrs Smerdon; also published steamy translations of French material by Eugene Sue and Alexandre Dumas. As a cover to all this titillation the journal sub-titled itself "A Journal of Progression in science, literature and all that tends to instruct and amuse the human race." Was a continuation of The Penny Satirist (22-Apr-1837 - 25-Apr-1846).

Issue Checklist

The Lone Hand

"The Lone Hand began as an ambitious project, an all-Australian magazine of broad scope and high quality, by the standards of the time. Later in the war years, it declined in value and prestige, and went through changes in policy in the attempt to regain its leading position. It published an amount of early science fiction." (Graham Stone)
