  • The Editor's Page & Errata: - Jeannie Peacock.

  • STAR San Diego at Comic Con '73: - Jeannie Peacock. Talks about having a table in the sales area (where Star Trek had a room all to itself), and meeting the stars and D.C. Fontana, along with local horror-movie TV show host Larry "Seymour" Vincent.
  • Demi Hamm's "Super-Vulcan and the Case of the Mashed Potato Freak". Mild-mannered Mr. Spark is secretly Super-Vulcan. When Captain Kork finds his boots filled with mashed potatoes and gravy, Super-Vulcan and his sidekick the Green Weirdo (actually Ensign Tutu) investigate, while enduring the jibes of Dr. O'Boy, rescuing Nurse Steeple, and trying not to trip over his long green cape. (5 pages)
  • Full Page Crossword - Jeannie Peacock.
  • "The Only Good Alien" part 3 of a serial - Karen Schnaubelt. Fan fiction based on the 1970-71 British series UFO, in which a secret organization called SHADO, led by Cmdr. Ed Straker, defends the Earth from alien invaders. (20 pages)
  • "Post-Menagerie" - Ruth Berman. Mr. Spock and Number One meet again and he explains about Captain Pike's return to Talos. This was also in T-Negative 7 and Star Trek Nuts & Bolts 14/15. (6 pages)
  • "The Face in the Sea" - Nadine Paulson. A young Hispanic couple spend their honeymoon near the sea. The wife finds herself irresistibly drawn to the waters and to her visions of a strange young man. (3 pages)

  • Critique of Menagerie 1 - Randall Cooper. Focusing on the ditto reproduction and its limitations, with a few words about an apparently very strongly worded editorial policy against pornographic stories. (2 pages)
  • Editors' Rebuttal - Jeannie Peacock and Karen Schnaubelt. They can't afford offset printing for the entire zine, and the anti-porn policy meant exactly what it said: "I don't want to spend valuable time reading the junk in the first place, and I'd be put out to waste 8 or 16 cents returning the stuff to its owner." Karen adds that she has "too many political enemies who would enjoy blackmailing me with it ten years from now."
  • The Keeper's Column - Karen Schnaubelt. As she does all the typing and layout, she reserves the Keeper's Column for discussing the technical aspects of putting out the zine.
