Reactions and Reviews

I assume the con had something to do with the Vilaworld club, since their raccoon mascot appears on the cover, peering throught the "O" in the title. (Also, the general appearance of the zine is very similar to Interface.) The rest of the cover is a nice drawing of Vila by Vikki Weidner, which isn't credited (unless perhaps on a contents page missing from the copy I have) but which I recognized because it was also used as an illo for the Kathy Hintze story in Anglo File.
