The fanzine fades away
Starlog magazine is ceasing publication...way before the internet... this was fanboy heaven and now it's gone the way of the do-do... And after 33 years and 374 issues, Starlog is officially calling it quits, continuing for the time being as an online-only publication.
Christoper Reeve, William Shatner, John Carpenter, George Lucas and of course Harrison Ford they were featured, as were The Goonies, Star Trek and anything to do with sci-fi or fantasy in film, books and TV...it was to be found in the pages of Starlog magazine.
If you look in the back issues you can find lettesr from me including a review of Ladyhawke with Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick and Michele Pfiefer and the first ever PG-13 movie - Dreamscape with Dennis Quaid, Kate Capshaw and Eddie Albert as the President. Was 1984 really twenty five years ago?
Most of all, Starlog gave the fan world the first ever word and photos on Star Wars starring Alec Guiness and newcomers Mark Hamill and Harrison Ward (I kid you not on that last one it was printed in issue #6), and then the word of a new film by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg called Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is very fitting that the last issue I picked last year sported a cover story on Indy's return in the "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".
As they say"all good things...must come to an end" or rather; "all those moments will be lost.. like tears in the rain".
So long, Starlog. Hailing frequencies are now closed.
