From the Editorial

In this day and age, what fools would dare print a fanzine? An Alias Smith & Jones fanzine, to boot? Ah, but if you posted it all on the internet, the Wide World Web, hundreds, maybe thousands of people could read it for free, not just a pitiful few dozen die-hards who had to pay for something to hold in their hands.

Yes, but you wouldn't have the fanzine experience. Something solid, something that doesn't need to be plugged in, that won't break if you dropped it.

Who would do this foolish thing? People who have been around fanzines for fifty years, who found them fun, and found them to be a creative outlet for many.

This fanzine will be our little secret.

When we found out that Pam, after a few decades, still had a number of AS&J stories percolating in her mind, we encouraged her to put them down on paper, offering to publish them, even if the print run was astronomically low. When Terry heard what we were doing, he offered to come up with something if possible. Melody was caught in the crossfire, filling in empty spaces with cartoons and limericks if no other filler could be found.

We don't have high expectations. We just want to entertain.
