  • crossword puzzle by Jeff Gloor, topic was The Monsters of Doctor Who
  • art by Ben Oliver
  • State of Decay: Doctor Who in the 1980's, a very long article by "our new columnist" Eric Strand (reasons: 1) Formulated, Generic Scripts, 2) Pointless Violence, 3) Dehumanized Characters)
  • comments by Eric Strand from a reader poll
  • Day Off, part two of a story, author not credited
  • con report (perhaps by Mousie?) for a Creation Con in San Francisco (a guest was DeForest Kelley)
  • The BEST and WORST of Timecon '88, con report by Mousie Zavala (who wasn't there), compiled from "our Brigadier" and Dave Collier
  • seeing the "tape" of Timecon, getting a personal message from Anthony Ainley, comments by Secretary Mousie (missed the actual con due to serious illness) ("He went on to say that he... he hoped to someday meet me! I hope to meet him someday soon too, if only conventions would get him! I have already suggested him again for Timecon, but they said that he was very expensive, $6,000, and first class all the way. Jon Pertwee is $4,000 first class too, and Mark Strickson is $2,000,and he really doesn't care, if you will just hire him!")
  • more comments about costs: "On this months pledge break KTEH got around to telling us the price for a season of our beloved Doctor. And, this is going to shock you! It costs $93,000 for one season! They said that Lioheart (Methinks they be more like Chickenhearts) has jacked up the prices drastically!"
