Reactions and Reviews

Allies publised its first fanzine, an enthusiastic if amateurish attempt called Alliance. In its most memorable feature, Annette Taylor and Debbie Gilbert conspired to create the totally [unknown word] "Awful States," in which Dr. Tarl Sanguine (host of the PBS series, "Osmose") undergoes a startling transformation before the eyes of his three wives. Never underestimate Annette Taylor's imagination!
