OCR: The Fortean Times is the UK's latest publishing phenomenon, with a circulation rising faster than that of any other title in the country. The magazine bucks all trends -- no sex, no drugs, no rock, no roll, no politics (at least not politics as we know it). Conceived in 1973 by Bob Rickard, the magazine started out as an obscure photocopied newsletter with a circulation of about 50. Five years later, Rickard was joined by Paul Sieveking, and the two continued to turn out issues as a labor of love. Neither quit their day jobs. That is, until the early 1990s, when John Brown Publishing showed interest, and, eventually, backed that interest with hard cash, and took over the magazine's then- wanting marketing efforts. Thanks
