Vulcanalia is a multimedia 61-page anthology of fiction, non-fiction, poems, and art.

It is undated but was published sometime after MAD Magazine Special #7, which is mentioned. Contents include a Peter Sunn story, sketches, a page of Star Trek trivia, editorials/reviews & random SFF tidbits, a 7-page comic strip, and a bit of poetry. There are no TOS characters in the fan fiction, but a bit of the editorial content focusses on Star Trek and Vulcans.

From the first page: Gratefully acknowledging our existence to Gene Roddenberry who started it all.... A first fanzine which is, among other things, our attempt to see if it can be done in mimeo."

There was only one issue of this zine, and then it became Romulan Wine.
