Come Time Travel with Me - 1965 Format: Panel
30 Jul 2020,
Thursday 09:00 - 09:50 NZT, Programme Room 1 (Webinar)
(Programming)
Blast back to
1965: Beatlemania has seized the nation, the Great Society is on the rise, but
southeast Asia and America's inner cities are in turmoil.
In geekdom, the
Twilight Zone has just ended its five year run, The Outer Limits is off the
air, but the Robinsons are about to get Lost in Space, and The Doctor is
finishing his second season. Marvel and DC comics have growing stables of
superhero teams, featuring a level of diversity and maturity never seen before.
Anime is so new that the genre doesn't have a name yet. Tabletop wargaming has
taken off. And at last year's World Science Fiction convention, a civil war
violently split the fans.

Cover Art Format: Panel
31 Jul 2020,
Friday 09:00 - 09:50 NZT, Programme Room 3 (Webinar)
(Programming)
Let's be
truthful: you do judge a book by its cover. Otherwise, why would we bother with
beautiful cover art? We will talk about the purpose(s) of the art, cover
design, matching art to the story, and
good (and maybe
a few bad) examples of memorable book covers.

There was an
explosion of new good SF in the 1960s, with the emergence of great new writers,

that are still
