[zine]:

ST fanzine, one of the slickest offset I have ever seen.

Not meaning to sound sexist, but remember that TOSOP was basically a zine put out by female fans? [1] Well, this zine is put out by an almost full male crew with the exception of one girl. Compare, if you will, the contents: four stories, two technical manual pages, Equicon '76 report, Logan's Run review, ST animation, photos, artwork by Doug Herring, and almost microscopic print. Get the idea? No, really they are both really fine zines in their own right, but Great Bird of the Galaxy, one finds stereotyped interests in these zines.

Content: 4 Layout & Printing: 5 Overall Rating: 9 [2]
