Good news for Dutch SF fans! The June issue of Holland SF, published by the Nederlands Contactcentrum voor Science Fiction, is a special issue on religious themes in SF. Even better, the lead story is a translated excerpt from my book The Gospel According to Science Fiction. They selected chapter 6, "Christ, Prometheus, and Klaatu: Alien Messiahs," which discusses Michael Moorcock's Behold the Man, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Alan Moore's Miracleman/Marvelman, and much, much more. There's also a piece on H.P. Lovecraft's forbidden gods, an interview with Dutch fantasy author Ad van Tiggelen on his recent book Profeet van de Duivel, a review of Osamu Tezuka's Buddha, and what seems to be an essay on nunsploitation movies. There's also a brief review of The Gospel According to Science Fiction. Of course, I can't read a word of it, but I can appreciate the attractive layout, including the awesome mash-up of Golgotha and Gort below.
