Analog - Analog Science Fiction and Fact is an American science fiction magazine. As of 2007, it was the longest continually published magazine of that genre. Initially published in 1930 in the United States as Astounding Stories as a pulp magazine, it has undergone several name changes, primarily to Astounding Science-Fiction in 1938, and Analog Science Fact & Fiction in 1960.
Arena - Arena is a British monthly men's magazine. It was created in 1986 by Nick Logan, who had started The Face in 1980, to focus on trends in fashion and entertainment. British graphic designer Neville Brody, who had designed The Face, designed Arena's launch appearance.
Attitude - This is an award winning British gay lifestyle magazine distributed worldwide. The first issue appeared in May 1994. As of April 2008, it is owned by Trojan Publishing [1]. The magazine's target audience is out-there, image conscious gay men, typically in their 20s and 30s and with income considerably higher than the national average.
Autocar - It is the oldest surviving car magazine in the world. It was launched as The Autocar "in the interests of the mechanically propelled road carriage" on November 2, 1895 when, it is believed, there were only six or seven cars in the United Kingdom. L. J. K. Setright suggests in his book, on the social history of the motor car, that the magazine was set up as an organ of propaganda for Harry J. Lawson, who was an early journalist on the magazine, and the founder of the Daimler Motor Company. It claims to have invented the road test in 1928 when it analysed the Austin 7 Gordon England Sunshine Saloon. It continues publishing weekly. Only strikes in the 1970s have interrupted its frequency. In 1988, it absorbed its long-time rival The Motor magazine, founded on January 28, 1903, briefly calling itself Autocar & Motor afterwards, before reverting to Autocar.

Cinefantastique - Cinefantastique was a horror, fantasy, and science fiction film magazine originally started as a mimeographed fanzine in 1967, then relaunched as a glossy, offset quarterly in 1970 by publisher/editor Frederick S. Clarke. Intended as a serious critical/review journal of the genres, the magazine immediately set itself apart from such competitors as Famous Monsters of Filmland and The Monster Times due to its slick paper stock and use of full color interior film stills. Cinefantastique's articles and reviews emphasized an intelligent, near-scholarly approach, a then-unusual slant for such a genre-specific magazine.
Cinefex - Serious analysis of the special effects industry, with particular emphasis on one movie or director per issue.
Cinema x - Men's magazine featuring pictorial spreads from adult movies of the 1960s and 1970s.

It was an addition to the company's already high profile comics, such as The Beano and The Dandy. During its launch year two issues were published per month, but due to the comic's increasing popularity this rose to four a month. Since 1981 there have been eight issues published per month. As of issue 539, certain stories have been reprinted. In September 1993 the comic title changed to Commando For Action and Adventure.

There was no other magazine like Custom Car! Fast-forward 36 years and Custom Car is still different from the rest. The UK's only lifestyle magazine for the hot rod, custom and drag racing enthusiast, Custom Car combines the best event reports and previews, news, project cars, exclusive features and contributions from the UK, USA and Europe. With valuable technical advice and a very active classified section, Custom Car is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the scene.

Famous Monsters of Filmland - Famous Monsters magazine was started in 1958 by publisher James Warren and editor Forrest J Ackerman. It mainly featured photos from horror movies, in particular Universal and Lon Chaney Snr, with incidental (mostly humourous) articles. The back of each magazine was filled with tempting adverts for horror toys, masks, LPs and model kits like "Frankenstein Drops His Pants". The magazine ran until 1983 under the editorship of Forest (Forry) J Ackerman (it was revived in 1994, but under different editorial control). The success of the original prompted spinoff magazines such as Spacemen, Famous Westerns of Filmland, Screen Thrills Illustrated, Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella.

Sight and Sound - Sight & Sound is a British monthly film magazine published by the British Film Institute (BFI). Sight & Sound was first published in 1932 and in 1934 management of the magazine was handed to the BFI, which still publishes the magazine today. Sight & Sound was published quarterly for most of its history until the early 1990s, apart from a brief run as a monthly publication in the early 1950s, but in 1991 it merged with another BFI publication, the Monthly Film Bulletin, and started to appear monthly. Sight & Sound has a more highbrow reputation than other film magazines. It says it reviews all film releases each month, including those with a narrow art house release, as opposed to the more mainstream focus of its competitors. Sight and Sound also currently features a full cast and crew credit list for each reviewed film.

Viz Viz is a popular British adult comic magazine that has been running since 1979. The comic parodies the strait-laced British comics of the post-war period, notably The Beano and The Dandy, but with incongruous language, crude toilet humour, black comedy and either sexual or violent story lines. It also sends up tabloid newspapers, with mockeries of articles and letters pages. It features competitions and advertisements for overpriced 'limited edition' tat, such as a cat that "shits its own weight in gold", as well as obsessions with half-forgotten celebrities from the 1970s and 1980s such as Shakin' Stevens and Rodney Bewes.

The format of the comic was a new idea at the time, as the comic was divided into two parts; one called Whizzer and one called Chips, which was a pull-out section in the middle. The slogan was "Two comics in one, double the fun!"
