1995: MARRIED WITH CHILDREN FANZINE: CHILDREN OF A FAR GREATER GOD

From the Spring of 1995: my only surviving copy of the fanzine CHILDREN OF A FAR GREATER GOD, dedicated to guaranteed late-night telly guilty pleasure (the visit to 'Wanker County' is the stuff of legend) MARRIED WITH CHILDREN.

Published in the UK, and sold through mail order (I can't for the life of me recall how I found out about it in the first place... maybe an advert in TV ZONE or AMERICANA), this was an A5 affair with colour paper covers. 

The contents were a mix of new articles (one issue, although I don't think it's this one, had an account of attending the recording of an episode as an audience member) and reproduced newspaper and magazine articles devoted to the show (vital in the pre-web age).

I'm not sure how long this ran but if anyone has any other issues they are happy to scan, I'll happily post them here on STARLOGGED.

  1. Once again slow, you have outdone yourself since fanzines are now rare and hard to obtain. My god , was there ANY show back then that didn't have a zine devoted to it ?

    I did manage to find an online image of issue 1 :

    1. My fanzine collection unfortunately has been significantly thinned out over the years (what was I thinking?) but I still have a few goodies waiting to be unearthed.
