Reactions and Reviews
This is one of the oldies that I found at the Orphan Zine table at Deliverance. I was hoping it might perhaps be adult, but no, although there's plenty of gen romance, and the editors do mention in their editorial that they'd like to do an adult zine similar to Alternative Seven. Dunno whether they ever did-- if so, they must have been using other names by then. The stories are, IMO, so-so, but they do have some promising bits. I suspect that the authors, whoever they are, were very young at the time; and for all I know, they may well be excellent writers by now. My favorite thing about the zine is its cover: a very nice ink drawing of half of Avon's face matched to half of a skull. [1]
