In an issue from 1973, Arthurs interviewed Roger Elwood, editor of a number science fiction anthologies during the 1970s. The article, "Roger Elwood: A Personal Reaction", which appeared in Godless, was later reprinted in Dick Geis' Science Fiction Review.
Darroll Pardoe, in Checkpoint 47 from April 1974, says of issue 6; "Reasonable material, a mixture of sercon and fannish, and an interesting letter... " and Checkoint 51, from August 1974, says of issue 7; "Nice furry animal article by Dave Locke. Imagine leaving a guard-spider in your house! Incidentally, Bruce, Godless arrived on July 25th."
