Shadow Dance is a gen fanzine.
The first issue had a Harrison Ford focus. The second issue was multi-fandom.
The publisher described it as: "A media zine devoted to those lovable scoundrels—on both sides of the law!"
Issue 1
Shadow Dance 1 was published in June 1983 and contains 58 pages.
It includes fan fiction, art, and poems from Star Wars, the Indiana Jones movies, Tales of the Gold Monkey, and Battlestar Galactica.
The art is by Cheryl Fint, Letitia Wells, Anne Davenport, Lorie Wolferd, and Kerri Smithline.
A flyer had advertised a Tommy Lillard story called "Passages" for issue #1, but the editor stated it would appear in the second issue; it isn't in that one either.
From the zine: "DEDICATED TO: MR. LUCAS, MR. SPIELBERG, MR. BELLISARIO, MR. PARRIOTT, MR. BUTLER, AND MR. GLEASON WITHOUT WHOM THIS ZINE COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED ALSO TO: HARRISON, STEPHEN, DIRK, JON-ERIK AND PIERCE FOR THE SAME REASON."
The editorial "by Maeve Solo":
A guest editorial, yet! Of course I'm flattered (with my ego, who wouldn't be?) but it still seems a bit weird. Listen, Smithline, if I find out this is an Imperial plot, you're in trouble! I don't take kindly to entrapment! OK, what do I say now? Not that I have a lot of time, with the Empire getting rough with us independents as well as the "official" rebels. Lately I've been thinking that for keeping my life from getting dull, the Imps and the rebels are getting to be almost as good as Han! At least when he gets a little too smartass I can tell him that gray hair's hereditary—parents get it from their kids. (Not true in my case, really, but I did start getting the streaks about the time he was born). Now that I've let myself get suckered into doing a little bit for the Alliance, though, I can't tell how much is due to genetics and how much to the hassles I've let myself in for.
Hey, in case you've been wondering, that Terran Lucas with his docudramas is doing a pretty good job of showing what's been happening, considering he's never been there. Allowing for a few details being a bit off, and a lot being left out, he did a fine job with his first two productions. From what I've seen of the third one coming up it's going to be more drama than docu, but I guess that's one of the hazards of the form. At least he's on the right side. By the way, the short bio further on here by my ghost writer Callahan is some thing that most likely won't ever get into the public programs, accurately or otherwise. That's why it's here, to get a little more of the real story out.
Fly free, people.
