War of the Worlds Surplus is a gen War of the Worlds newsletter. There were at two, possibly three issues.
It had information in the series and the actors and also had articles on relevant topics.

Alien Base will contain information about up coming events and poetry.
Neither Here Nor There will feature items that are neither here nor there as they relate to WDW, but I think might be of interest.
The Back Pages will have press releases, and other information not featured in other sections of the zine. There will be a Classified Ad section.
The zine will have pictures, illios, cartoons, and poetry.
Cost of the zine is five dollars payable to Steve Shewmaker; to the above address, and I hope to have the zine out before January.
