The art is by TACS, J. Jones, Suzan Lovett, Ruth Kurz, Cheryl Newsome, Dani Lane, and Jean C..

From the Editorial

The book you hold in your hands represents a dream I have had for our fandom for years. (Since I saw the beautiful art and poetry portfolio for Harry and Johnny to be exact/) I don't know about you, but the first thing I do upon a receiving a zine is to scan for the art, for my taste there is never enough. It was that desire to see more that prompted "Moonlight and Mists." I wish to thank all of my contributors, for your patience and your support, so many times you rallied after a hastily scribbled note [on an envelope] to a frantic phone call, every one of you came through.

Art Gallery

Below is a representative sample from each of the many artists who contributed to the zine's artwork.

  • J. Jones. Many of Jones's portraits were used for zine cover art, and as a result featured both characters. Here is a representative sample of a somber solo portrait of Hutch used as interior art. Like much of artwork in the zine it was accompanied by the poem Bitter/Sweet by Lyndy Harding

  • Suzan Lovett (poem by Lucy Cribb) (the art won an award at the The Paul Muni Special convention)

  • J. Jones. While some of Jones's portraits are somber or intense, a few, like this smiling Starsky & Hutch, show the light-hearted side of the characters. Art probably modeled on this production still released at the time. The drawing accompanied the poem You and Me by Lucy Cribb.

Reactions and Reviews

I [Ruth Kurz] am proud to be a part of this beautiful collection of poetry and artwork; even more proud to have, apparently, inspired it. What a lovely surprise. Each poem is handsomely accented by a portrait, skillfully paired by the editor, who sometimes wrote poems inspired by the pictures. Although I like them all, I have a few special favorites. 'Symbiosis' and its perfect portraits are lovely, especially the ones ith 'Status Quo,' 'Bitter/Sweet,' and that final Starsky. [name redacted] Starsky is so perfect with 'What Happened.' 'Road to Damascus' and its lovely illo show the birth of a deeper love. And best of all is Suzan Lovett's breathtaking portfolio of The Champion and The Other, climaxing with that gentle one with "Sunrise" which I was fortunate enough to see in color at the Paul Muni art show. This zine is a welcome addition to anyone's collection. [1]
