Ultrawarp is the zine of Time-Trekkers, the Science Fiction Club of Central Victoria. It was published in Australia.
Issue 15
Ultrawarp 15 was published in 1995 and contains 12 pages.
Reactions and Reviews: Issue 15
This issue has a couple of articles focusing on Blakes 7, as well as a guide to cult TV drinking games, an episode guide to Babylon 5, lots of club and zine info, and news from the realms of SF television shows. Plus there’s continuing tale which brings together the universes of Doctor Who, Star Trek, X-Files AND Dune! [1]
Issue 16
Ultrawarp 16 was published in 1996.
- a look at the novel Tintin in the New World by Michael Cloonan
- other unknown content
Reactions and Reviews: Issue 16
Just to be different, the best bit of this issue is a look at the novel Tintin in the New World by Michael Cloonan — fascinating stuff! Plus there’s some rather disturbing news reports of Big Bird, angel dust, the New York SWAT Team, and muppet riots… A bit thin overall, though. Rating: • • out of five [2]
Issue 17
Ultrawarp 17 was published in 1997.
- material from Doctor Who, Trek, Blake's 7, Aliens and Starblazers (aka Space Cruiser Yamato)
- from The Sonic Screwdriver #100: "The scary bit is the never-ending "Once upon a Time-Warp" which sees a continuing story each issue penned by a different author — the latest instalment has the Seventh and Eighth Doctor, along with Benny and Ace on the USS Voyager, topped off with an ethereal blue glow forming around Ace and her saying ‘Oh, boy…’."
Issue 19
Ultrawarp 19 was published in June/July 1996.
Issue 21
Reactions and Reviews: Issue 21
They continue to add content, be it Who, Trek, Blakes 7 or Aliens. Plus it’s good to see someone else remembers Starblazers (aka Space Cruiser Yamato)! The scary bit is the never-ending "Once upon a Time-Warp" which sees a continuing story each issue penned by a different author — the latest instalment has the Seventh and Eighth Doctor, along with Benny and Ace on the USS Voyager, topped off with an ethereal blue glow forming around Ace and her saying ‘Oh, boy…’. Three SF series out of five (that’s the rating, not a comment!). [3]
Issue 28
Ultrawarp 28 was published in 1998.
Reactions and Reviews: Issue 28
As [the name of the club] suggest, they cover a stack of sci-fi and related things: there’s a couple of Timestorm reviews (including the compulsory Michael Hutchence hanging joke) and a number of other tidbits as well. It’s got a more newsletter than zine feel, but well worth it (and the never-ending story has! Praise the Lord!). [4]
