Omni (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Nightly. Omni was a science and science fiction magazine published in the US and the UK. It contained articles on science, parapsychology, and short works of science fiction and fantasy.[1] It was published as a print version between October 1978 and 1995. The first Omni e-magazine was published on CompuServe in 1986 and the magazine switched to a purely online presence in 1996.[2][3] It ceased publication abruptly in 1997, following the death of co-founder Kathy Keeton, and closed down in 1998.[4][5] Omni was founded by Kathy Keeton and her long-time collaborator and future husband Bob Guccione, the publisher of Penthouse magazine.[6] The initial concept came from Keeton, who wanted a magazine "that explored all realms of science and the paranormal, that delved into all corners of the unknown and projected some of those discoveries into fiction.
"[7] In 1997, Keeton died from complications of breast cancer. Omni magazine was published in at least six languages. Footnotes. Omni Magazine Online - Tribute Website - Nightly. OMNI Magazine Collection : Free Texts : Download & Streaming : Internet Archive - Nightly. From Wikipedia: OMNI was a science and science fiction magazine published in the US and the UK. It contained articles on science fact and short works of science fiction. The first issue was published in October 1978, the last in Winter 1995, with an internet version lasting until 1998. OMNI was launched by Kathy Keeton, long-time companion and later wife of Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione, who described the magazine in its first issue as "an original if not controversial mixture of science fact, fiction, fantasy and the paranormal".
Before launch it was referred to as Nova, but the name was changed before the first issue to avoid a conflict with the PBS science show of the same name, NOVA. The magazine was initially edited by Frank Kendig, who left several months after the magazine's launch. OMNI entered the market at the start of a wave of new science magazines aimed at educated but otherwise "non-professional" readers.
All items (most recently added first) Memories of Omni magazine - Boing Boing - Nightly. I miss Omni magazine. It was a terrific blend of technology, science, art, fiction, futurism, and high weirdness. It definitely inspired my worldview and interests that I hope come across on BB. In fact, if I could launch a new Boing Boing print magazine, it might have this logo, courtesy of Rob Beschizza: For more Omni wonderfulness, a French site called Collectors Showcase has a nearly complete set of Omni covers. And for more, there's the Omni Magazine Online - Tribute Website and the OmniShrine Wiki.
