Starrag is a Star Trek, Star Wars, 2001 (film), and Doctor Who 70-page parody zine. It has the subtitle: "Everything You Wanted to Know About SFX But Were Afraid to Ask."
In a 2023 interview, Paul Murphy recalled that he created the zine with the intention of fundraising for the upcoming Trekcon 2 convention, but that its sales were disappointing.[1]
