In parallel with the Jeff Hawke strip Sydney Jordan also undertook some other drawing commissions , many of which had sci-fi as their subject. During 1960 and 1961, when Hawke had reached what many fans regarded as its “golden age” ,Sydney produced three full colour covers for the British magazine NEW WORLDS SCIENCE FICTION. This publication was a leading vehicle of science fiction in the UK at the time. It had started back in the thirties as a fanzine and although suffering several financial crises and changes of ownership , it settled down as a professionally published magazine after 1946. Each issue carried around four short stories and was printed in a paperback format very similar to the U.S. Magazine FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION. It attracted many distinguished writers such as Brian Aldiss, JG Ballard and Arthur C Clarke. As time went on, many leading U.S. Writers in the genre also contributed. The cover art does not seem to tally with any specific stories in the magazines, but was there presumably just to attract the buyer. Sydney contributed three covers , all of which appeared in 1961 in the January , April and August issues.                         Skipper Prossit
