(1)it's one long story and it's good because Loved Crazy Charlie Connors

Other comments: (1)Nice story - more like a novelette [3]

This zine is one long story, and a good one too. The team is stuck with two female-tag-alongs this time, along with Amy, as they travel to Gothinia to rescue a kidnapped child. [4]

I.M.O. it's an exceptionally good story, at least compared to the other A-Team zine stories I've read. Definitely worth checking out if you can find it. Not that the other stuff is necessarily bad, but [this is one] I especially enjoyed. Your Mileage May Vary. [5]
