Jabberwocky Collected is a collection of the first thirteen gen Jabberwocky stories by Sheila Paulson.
The art is by Kathy Hanson (mostly) and Sheila Paulson, and aside from an illo by Paulson for the last story (a fan-casted Real Ghostbusters one of Edge, Tanz, and Perren), they are all reprinted from previous Jabberwocky stories.
The two new-at-the-time stories to this collection were the last two, "Revenant" and "Lifeblood."
This collection was published by Evil Twin Press in 1993.
Several fans mentioned it being published in 1992, but the date on the zine is 1993.
Previously Printed
The Jabberwocky stories were originally published in parts, which generally appeared alongside other unrelated stories in anthology zines, such as Gambit. There are the following exceptions: the first story Link-up was originally published on its own as Seventh Sector 3, the second and third stories (Mind-Rape and Healer) were originally published together in a standalone zine by Janet Walker. The 14th story (Malodaar) was also originally published as a standalone zine by Janet Walker.

Fan Comments
A fan in November 1992 wrote:
There is soon to be released a Jabberwocky Collected zine that also has some new material. I'm about to buy this - wish me luck! [1]
In June 1993, a fan wrote:
Jabberwocky Collected was brought out for Media West in May last year. I'm told it contains all Jabberwocky so far PLUS new material. Contact address is Janet Walker. She never answers me but you will probably have better luck. If you do, will you let me know, as I'm still in pursuit of this one? [2]
In September 1993:
Nah, nah, na, nah, nah... I've got Jabberwocky collected, I've got Jabberwocky Collected! Don't give up. It does exist. It's enormous and absolutely packed with the most hysterical printing errors. It's wonderful. My copy came from the Media West Convention Keep trying, it's worth the effort needed to track it down. [3]
Also in September 1993:
On the more pleasant side of zine doings, someone picked up Jabberwocky Collected for me at MediaWest this year (so I didn't have to try to write to Janet Walker). The new material in it consists of two average-length (for Jabberwocky) stories, neither of which overly impressed me - basically because they rehashed the theme of so many of the earlier tales (you know, something breaks the mindllnk with the ship, and someone gets traumatised as a result). I don't recall how much of Jabberwocky you're missing though, and if you're looking for a lot more than Just the new stories, It's still a good buy. [4]
From a fan in 1995:
I think the inclusion of Parts 12 and 13 of Sheila Paulson's Jabberwocky saga was a good decision which a goodly number of fans will appreciate because the only other place one can find "Lifeblood" and "Revenant" is in a huge volume containing all the Jabberocky stories, which many will be reluctant to buy if those are the only two they haven't read (and which I did buy but, due to tendinitis, can no longer physically lift - so I appreciate it too). [5]
On an unknown date, Judith Proctor commented:
It is occasionally available at conventions, but I would not recommend buying it by post. [6]
