Here's a couple more info about the magazine, and the 1st issue.
It was published monthly in the form of anthology, containing short stories, novels, poems, articles, pictures (photos, drawings, paintings, as illustrations or standalone), caricatures, comics... The contents were gathered into a mix of selection or thematic, on 100+ pages.
In it's prime it was among the largest titles, sold in over 90 000 copies, in comparison similar American magazines (such as picrel) could surpass it only by a couple tens of thousands more. And if we take into consideration that Hungary had a 10 mil. population, while the US had 200 mil, we can conclude the Hungarian readers were very much science-fiction and technology oriented.
In the first issue contains translations of W. Hilton Young, GĂ©rard Diffloth, Isaac Asimov, Andrei Dmitruk, D.A. Bilenkin, Robert Sheckley, J. Kagarlickij, Edward Lucie-Smith, Charles Dobzynski.
In 1974 it got the title of the Best European Science Siction Magazine in Grenoble at the Eurocon.
