I know at some point I must also have read #18, because Sarah Berry's grim PGP story "Moonwind" (reprinted in the webzine, =The Aquitar Files=) made a strong impression on me. But I don't have the zine; I think I must have borrowed it from someone a few years ago.
There was B7 in the older issues of the zine, but no details are currently available. #18 was the last issue
Well, I finally came across =Frontier Worlds= #s 4 and 5. Would you believe, the first four issues of this zine were produced with ditto! What a blast from the past. I wonder how old you have to be to even recognize the stuff? Printed in smudgy blue on slick paper, from typed stencils; commonly used for school homework assignments, in my day, which is quite some time ago now.
For the "Blake's 6 and a Bit" cartoon in #4, they did use better quality photocopying. And #5 is entirely photocopied (or offset? I'm not sure how to tell the difference). Una's guesses about the contents of #5, based on the comments in #6, turned out to be spot on.
BTW, what's "Bandros," the original name of the press? Something from Doctor Who?
There were also apparently reprints of #s 1-4 together, and #s 5-6 together, so maybe I'll see the first three issues one of these days.
If any of you zine collectors have #s 1-3 of this classic B7-DW zine, please speak up and let us know what's in them. Following Una's method, we can deduce that parts 1-3 of "Paradox" were in the early issues, but what else?
