Space Cruiser Log was a Star Blazers zine that ran for two issues.
Editor Frederick Kopetz summarized it thusly:
In the summer of 1982 (by which time I was a college freshman majoring in journalism), the first issue of my fanzine Space Cruiser Log was born. I photocopied it myself. It had a small print run of thirty, and sold for $3.25 an issue.It included, among other things…
-A Wildstar cover by Michael Pinto
-A list comparing the American and Japanese character names
-An article called “Sexism in Star Blazers” by a fan named Steph Rendino
-Various Cartoons
-Part One of what would be the first of many drafts of my fanfic story, The Rikasha Incident. A friend contributed a few ideas but it was mostly mine.
People liked the first issue, and I began work on a second one that ended up even bigger. It included more fanfic, articles on Yamato models, and more artwork.[1]
