Starlog Magazine (December 1995, Issue #221) Scans

It's been a while since I posted about a scanning project. The most recent magazine I scanned was this Starlog Magazine from December 1995!

Starlog originally started out as a Star Trek magazine, but evolved to include all things sci-fi, fantasy, and nichely nerdy. I don't think nichely is a word, but hey, this is my blog and I say and do what I want lol.

Here are some scans I like from the magazine! There is also a link to the full magazine at the end of the post if you're interested in seeing the whole thing!

Let's start off with this subscription form for the magazine.

This takes me back. The thought of filling out a form and mailing it in to purchase a magazine subscription feels so alien now (haha).

I also wanted to point out Robocop, one of my boyfriend's (and my dad's) favs! I actually only recently saw the movie for the first time with my boyfriend, and it was so fun and surprisingly gorey! I wasn't expecting it at all. For some reason I thought the movie was silly and campy? And I mean it was, but the blatant gore and body horror that would come out of nowhere was so shocking to me!

---

Speaking of filling out mail-in forms to make purchases, this magazine is full of them! Mainly they're for merch and memorabilia. Here are a few of my favorites.

This selection doesn't even include all of the things available to buy from the magazine. I think my favorite are the audio cassettes/CDs and the Star Trek face t-shirts. The pin collector in me also admires the page of Star Trek pins.

The signed movie and tv photos page is SO interesting, too. I wonder how they decided the prices for each celebrity? Part of me can't imagine these are real, but if I was a celeb...I certainly would take 1 second to sign a photo if it was being sold for $40 and I got some kickback lol.

If you could have one of the singed photos from a celebrity on that list, who would it be?

I'd have to pick Gary Sinise!

---

There are actually quite a few story articles in this magazine. Each have around a 3-6 page spread full of pictures - they're quite fun to look at! Here are some of my favorite pages from the various articles.

I really enjoy how they all have drastically different color backgrounds.

The cover article about how Toy Story was created/animated is cool! I picked this page because I love watching how animators work, especially when they use themselves as reference (like in the above pic).

---

Lastly, just a couple of random parts from the magazine that interested me.

One was this article about a fantasy fiction author.

The article included many different covers of her books. I wish these could've been in color! I've never read older fantasy adventure novels, but these all looked super appealing to me. I'll have to keep an eye out for some of her books while thrifting.

During the scanning process, I spend a lot of time looking at the front and back covers of the books/magazines I'm scanning. I found myself absolutely enthralled with the back cover of this magazine.

Something about the colors, art, and design just piqued my interest while scanning. I've never heard of this game, much less played it, but I do want to know more about it! I'll probably see if there's a let's play online.

Gosh this is such a cool looking ad for this game. I'm sure the game itself is probably nothing great, but this ad sure is great to look at.

As always, you can view the full magazine for yourself over on my Internet Archive account.

Thanks for stopping by!

I need your help fellow Trekkies! Does anyone own the #9 of Star Trek Voyager Magazine from 1996 or a scan of it? It contains a 2-page interview with Brad Dourif talking about his character Lon Suder and I'd love to read it.

I'm obsessed with him send help

it's cheap to get, but an import across the globe would be ridiculously expensive, so I hope some hardcore trekkie has it somewhere

How did you first get into anime?

The first I can remember is watching Star Blazers (an American re-dub of Space Battleship Yamato) when I was very little, but I couldn't say I was aware that it was 'anime' at the time. What first got me into anime specifically was Starlog Magazine which would frequently run ads for anime releases. That's where I learned what Star Blazers really was.

What really sticks in my memory is an ad from Starlog #87 (October, 1984):

Note that this was a year before Robotech began airing. When I subsequently saw Robotech on TV I was thus already aware that it was actually a re-edited show containing parts of Macross, and spent years trying to track down the originals. That snowballed into a more general anime fandom over the years (I'm a veteran of the tape-trading network!), but Macross to this day remains my favorite series.

'Jim Henson & Labyrinth', 'Starlog'', #109, Aug. 1986 ”Brian Froud [conceptual designer on both movies] and I started considering Labyrinth as The Dark Crystal opened," Henson explains, ' 'because we decided not to think about another film until Crystal did open. We wanted to do a lighter weight picture, with more of a sense of comedy since Dark Crystal got kind of heavy— heavier than we had intended." Source

Who else remembers those Star Trek: The Original Series trading cards? They were produced by Topps Chewing Gum Company in 1976.

I still remember and missing them. It's a shame I'm not so good at collecting.
