1980: THE OFFICIAL METEOR MOVIE MAGAZINE (Warren)



From January 1980: THE OFFICIAL METEOR MOVIE MAGAZINE, published by Warren.  

I must confess that I have never seen this Seventies Disaster Movie/ SF combo... although, from what i have heard, I doubt it is as spectacular as the magazine enthusiastically suggests.  Indeed, I understand it's more akin to a RAISE THE TITANIC stylee clunker.  

But... I have a copy of the movie on order... so I'll know for sure whether it's a Star Age disaster of a Disaster Movie. 

UPDATE: I finally managed to see the movie itself this morning and can happily report that it's a worthy addition to the Seventies Disaster Movie cycle and certainly no clunker.  The effects are a mixed bag (the plot-critical nuclear missiles look suspiciously like Airfix models), and I vaguely recall that the avalanche sequence (with a prominently-billed Sybil Danning) is lifted wholesale from a Corman flick, but it's still a good little romp.
