front cover

The title of the zine is derived from the main character in the third season episode, "Plato's Stepchildren". "His methods were unspeakable, and the same description may be applied to this fanzine. You, the unsuspecting reader are forewarned—the worse [sic] is yet to come! You will be glad to know this is a one-shot 'zine, so rejoice... Special thanks to Mr. Gene Roddenberry, and Paramount, for bringing back the show in animation form."

Reactions and Reviews

Parmen's Corner is a fine example of a fan full of enthusiasm that makes a fanzine with a nice personal touch, as opposed to certain zines that are out to eat your pocketbook. The $1.50 is a rip-off NOT to you, but to the editor, for she went through the trouble to have it printed entirely in photo-offset, and they charged her an arm and a leg. Less than fifty copies were printed, so buy it while you can. It is sci-fi-Star Trek oriented, with ST art ranging from fair to good, a sci-fi story, and, especially what I'd buy it for, the first STAR TRITE story. Why not buy it just to see what other true fans can do?
