The Thunder Child
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Thunder Child is a monthly webzine focusing on every aspect of fantasy and science fiction. Its name derives from the heroic ironclad HMS Thunder Child in H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, which sacrificed itself to destroy one of the Martian tripods and enabled a band of refugees to escape.
The Thunder Child began publication in September, 2005.
Each issue features at least one article on each segment of sci fi or fantasy media: author profiles, book profiles, book reviews, movie sourcebooks, the theater, radio drama, even travel articles to monuments to authors such as Jules Verne or to museums like the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle, Washington.
Articles have included film sourcebooks for Them! (including the well-received "How to Steal A Scene" by James Whitmore), When Worlds Collide, It Came from Outer Space, and the serial Undersea Kingdom.
Authors interviewed include Roy P. Webber, author of The Dinosaur Films of Ray Harryhausen, and Tom De Haven, author of It's Superman.
