Stories about Star Trek, Questor, Man from UNCLE... We are looking for GOOD work. Non-tv adventures are also acceptable. There is no deadline, but the zine will be published late 1975 or early 1976.

This fanzine is looking for contributions of fan-produced WOW cartoons. Even if your loon's already been printed in a zine, submit it to AF anyway! This way you don't have to look through a huge stack of zines to find that one amusing cartoon. Artists receive a contributor's copy (and credit will be given to first print source). Submissions should be in ink, not pencil, or a good photocopy, and it would be wise to keep a copy for yourself in case the Post Awful eats an original. AF will even consider jokes if they're good enough. Planned publication date is Summer, 1990.")
  • After the Final Shot (Rat Patrol, anthology of RP stories about the Rats and Dietrich after the war)

Vulcans, Alien races, and much much more! Each article, story, and poem will be thoroughly illustrated, and all the artwork will be done offset. The fanzine will be the best of its kind, so don't miss it! Send a SASE for prices to reserve a copy for yourself. Agripol will be out in very early 1977, and prices will be rock bottem [sic]." From a 1977 issue of Star Trek Nuts & Bolts -- "Agripol has gone the way of the dinosaurs but George Perkins says he'll be printing all of the Agripol material in future issues of Star Trek Nuts & Bolts.")
