Geoff Wright's 'Mini-Mag' is a Space: 1999 gen fanzine produced in the UK. "In common with many early efforts, the production standards were low, but these were produced by teenagers (or younger) with virtually no money and primitive resources (usually mimeographs from stencils rather than photocopies). At the end of the 1970s, Geoff moved to Australia; the fanzine ran on a couple of issues under another editor before disappearing. Typically, for most fan publications, the schedule was erratic, changing between monthly, bimonthly and several double, even triple issues. Even the title changed. Originally it was "Space: 1999 Magazine Advanced Supplement,' Then the "Mini-Mag' (starting at number 2). Page counts ranged from 4 pages to 8 pages, with the December 1978 triple issue reaching 30. There were about 90 subscribers, mostly in the UK." [1]
