I have a copy of Pixel, Vol. 1 No. 3 (july/august 1990) right here in my hot
little hands. Two articles in this issue: "Probabilistic Computation of
Cochlear Anatomy" by Carl S. Brown and Alan C. Nelson, both of the U. of
Washington; and "Visualizing the Collision of a Star with a Black Hole" by
G. Comer Duncan, of Bowling Green State University. Departments are Letters,
Visualization News, Visualization Tools, Essay (this issue: Seeing in Volume
by Vincent Argiro of Vital Images and Maharishi International University),
Visualization Techniques, Viewpoint. This issue is only 44 pages, but has a
pretty good substance/advertisements ratio, far better than the typical
"trade rag." I'd say the percentage of space devoted to ads about matches
that of the ACM Communications. Price is a little hefty ($7/issue, $42 one
year (6 issues)) but hey! things get expensive when nearly every single
page has full-color pictures on it.

Sorry, I can't give a substantive review, I haven't had time to absorb the
mass of stuff I picked up at SIGGRAPH (including this magazine). At first
glance, though, it looks like it's worth it.
