Reactions and Reviews: The Series
Stories by Lynette Muir, a well respected writer. I especially enjoyed Check to Kul Oba in #1, Once upon a Time in #2, Outworlder Amok, and Hell Said the Vulcan in #3 and Flawlessly Logical in #4. As there are excellent stories in all of the IDICs, rather than go into each synopsis, I can recommend all four zines as well worth reading. They are a nice mixture of serious and less serious. [1]

From the zine:
This zine, which has turned out to be particularly diverse in its combinations, is dedicated with warm affection and ' gratitude to the memory of that all-embracing personification of IDIC philosophy: DOT OWENS. May she rest in peace.
