The Second Issue That Wasn't
A second issue of this zine with a focus on She-Wolf of London was planned but not published. From Penguin Press Presents #7 (1992): "Yet another'one- shot wonder' that contains fiction from a series even a name and location change couldn't save: She-Wolf of London (aka Love and Curses). It's funny, scary, and witty as all get out just the type of program we love and mourn."
Because Presentation Details Matter!

Reactions and Reviews
This zine is another feast for the eyes, with tons of gorgeous pen-and-ink illos by Ann Larimer. Produced by Susan M. Garrett, it's beautifully laid out (as always), and gives a great synopsis of the series for those reading the zine cold. [1]
