Amy Harlib is a fanartist that contributed to zines, mainly in the 1970s. In later life, she bacame Amazing Amy, the Yoga Contortionist:
"I got bored really quickly," she said.
Harlib, a Chelsea resident, uses humor, a love for science fiction and an uncanny ability to shape and contort her body for crowds throughout the New York City area.
Using some of her self-described obsessions as inspiration, she dedicates her performances to influences like Star Trek, Star Wars, Judaism and techno trance music. [1]

from Probe #11, "Willy and the Starship" by Cecilia Cosentini and Amy Harlib. From the editorial: "Our cover story presents an interesting study in contrasting art styles. Working from a copy of "Willy and the Starship", CECILIA COSENTINI conjured up our color cover (which speaks for itself), while AMY HARLIB played it for laughs in her interpretation of the 'androids'. (And any resemblance between her portrait of Willy and my brother Weldon is purely intentional.)" (Star Trek: TOS)
