Omni Magazine

The print version of Omni was a bedsheet-sized publication started by Bob Guccione as a kind of sister magazine to Penthouse. Omni always had a dual personality with respect to its prestige. On the one hand its high circulation, coupled with some outstanding fiction editors, allowed it to attract the cream of the crop in the speculative fiction field. On the other hand, its concentration on UFOs and the paranormal gave it a reputation as being fairly eccentric. The print version of Omni was officially put to rest, with its last issue being the Winter 1995 issue. However, a new issue of Omni, with a Winter 2017 date, was published in October 2017.
