Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1

G-7 is basically a ST art zine. #1, 58 pages, is crammed with beautiful full page drawings of the entire ST crew, interspersed with poetry. There's also a ST story entitled: "The War Game." One poem, supposedly written by Spock while under the influence of Pon Farr (the Vulcan sex drive) is entitled: "The Ballad of Lost T'Pring." Another poem written from Spock's point of view is called: "Paradise, "based on the episode "This Side of Paradise." This is one zine you should buy if you're a collector of STology. It's really worth the money. A second issue is being planned at present.[1]

Issue 2

Galileo 7 2 was published in June 1968 and contains 50 pages.

From the editor:

Number one on my list is an apology, for being so late in this second issue, I would have had it out by Baycon as promised in the last issue, but I spent all my money at Baycon.

The art is by by Kathy Bushman, DEA, Linda Leach, Sara Fensterer, Dale Kagan and D.
