"This zine is dedicated to the dreamer in all of us...."
This zine first asked for submissions in an issue of Universal Translator #16 in 1982 and emphasized that it would "conform to Lucas' standards." For more context regarding these "standards," see: Open Letter to Star Wars Zine Publishers.
The editorial:
I got already to run this thing off when I discovered that I hadn't written the editorial yet. I seriously considered printing it without one, but that's a no-no. So, anyway, here I am with absolutely nothing to say. Not impressed, eh? Somehow I didn't think you would be.
Well, first off no zine is a single effort. It's a group effort, from the writers to the artists to the proofreaders. So a round of thanks to you all. I also want to thank all of you for being so patient about the lateness of HOTH OR BUST. My intentions were good, reality just messed 'em up.
HOTH OR BUST #2 is in the planning stages. There's a Han Solo story by Christine Jeffords, and another of Ann Wortham's gems. And I promise to have "Storm In Every Port" finished for #2, even if I have to chain myself to the kitchen table during my non-working hours. (Why do I have the feeling that I'm repeating myself here? This whole paragraph sounds vaguely familiar.)
I'm coming up on the short end of inspiration here, so I think I'll close. Enjoy.
