Submission Request
From For Your Information #5 (December 1990):
We'd like to put together s fanzine for the British spy/thriiler CALLAN, which starred Edward Woodward. David Callan was an obvious inspiration for Robert McCall, of THE EQUALIZER CALLAN has seldom or never been broadcast in the U.S., so we know this is a major undertaking -- but, one of us is a die-hard fan of the series, and very stubborn, we're looking for stories and art, of course, but we'd also like to hear from fans of Edward Woodward, THE EQUALIZER or British spy/thrillers in general who are interested in finding out more about the show. We're more than willing to bribe potential contributors with tape copies and background information! Since a CALLAN-only zine isn't likely to be possible, we're also soliciting crossovers to the EQUALIZER universe, and EQUALIZER fiction.
