  front cover of issue #2. The cover artists commented: "Almost all of my fan art was in some way connected to Doctor Who, so it seemed a bit odd that one of my rare variations from this trend concerned a show that I didn't have an interest in. This was my cover for X-Treme Possiblilities II. I was conscripted by Peggy Li to do the cover for the zine and some of her stories."—by Martin Proctor, 2014
