1984: ENTERPRISE SPECIAL COLLECTORS EDITION Issue 5 (NMP)


From November 1984: the eye-catching cover (it's the Enterprise burning up in orbit above the Genesis Planet from STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK) from the fifth (of six) ENTERPRISE COLLECTORS EDITIONS.

This reprints the seventh issue of the original run, first published with a different cover (art of a fleet of Romulan Warbirds) in 1981.

1984: ENTERPRISE INCIDENTS COLLECTORS EDITION Issue 4 (NMP)


From April 1984: the third (out of six) issue of ENTERPRISE INCIDENTS SPECIAL COLLECTORS EDITION magazine.

This one reprints the fifth issue of the original run... EI must have significantly increased its page count with that issue as it still runs roughly the same length as the previous Collectors Editions, which each crammed two old issues in.

1984: ENTERPRISE INCIDENTS SPECIAL COLLECTORS EDITION Issue 2 (NMP)

From January 1984: the second (of six) issue of ENTERPRISE INCIDENTS SPECIAL COLLECTORS EDITION, reprinting (from the late Seventies) issues 3 & 4 of the original fanzine.

Note the nostalgic Forbidden Planet 2 green price sticker (see my other post today for more) and apologies for the dealer sticker top-left.

1983: ENTERPRISE INCIDENTS SPECIAL COLLECTORS EDITION Issue 1 (NMP)


From November 1983: ENTERPRISE INCIDENTS SPECIAL COLLECTORS EDITION Issue 1.

Regular Starloggers might be forgiven for thinking that this is a re-post (which does sometimes happen)... but this is actually a new purchase.

I've already got a copy of the first issue of EI from 1976 (see: here) but this is a 1983 reprint (the first of six... of which I was able to get five) that compiles the contents of the first two original issues.

We're still in fanzine territory here (EI evolved into a general SF magazine by the early eighties) but it has a nice mix of original art and press clippings.  The latter are now nice historical curios which are unlikely to surface (at least in print form) anywhere else.

1984: DAREDEVILS MAGAZINE House Ad (NMP)

From November 1984: A House Ad for US publisher NMP's DAREDEVILS magazine, dedicated to action/ adventure film and TV. 

Not to be confused with the Marvel UK monthly (or, indeed, Horn Head himself), this was stablemate to titles like ENTERPRISE INCIDENTS, FANTASY EMPIRE, SFTV and a zillion of those FILE MAGAZINES dedicated to almost any TV show or comic that the publishers thought would sell.  I covered THE V FILES here

I've never seen, much less read, a copy of this one but it sounds like the sort of thing I would enjoy.  A swift Google search reveals no information online so there's not much else I can say.  Anyone else know more... or have copies?
