“It’s still one of the greatest magazines about science fiction of all time.” iO9’s Charlie Jane Anders points the way to a
fully-searchable online archive of Starlog Magazine. The “internet before the internet,” as one of the commenters well put it,
Starlog was one of the staples of my childhood (and the magazine that, since I was living overseas when it came out, spoiled
Return of the Jedi and several other movies rotten for me.)
Seeing ‘Twiki’ in that first cover, reminds me of my youthful crush on Wilma Deering … that satin skinsuit, long before Counsellor Troi.
Right there with ya. Ashamed to say that I still vividly recall feeling confused like Garth when, at the age of 7 or 8, I saw Wilma encountering gropey psychic dwarves.
