1997: SCI-FI TV & CINEMA ISSUE 1 (DENNIS PUBLISHING)

From 1997: The first - and only (almost) issue of the British genre mag SCI-FI TV & CINEMA.

Published by Dennis Publications, this was one of the succession of genre mags that popped up around the 20th anniversary of the release of STAR WARS, the release of the Special Editions, the impending arrival of The Phantom Menace and the small screen supernatural boom.

This one was, I think, billed as a monthly but never progressed beyond this issue.

It did return, in a manner of speaking, in 1999 when Dennis published the suspiciously similar SCI-FI TV & MOVIES with a virtual identical name, masthead design and SW-centric contents. That one also failed to progress.
