Starting as a fanzine in 1972 by Don Dohler (a Baltimore low-budget filmmaker), Starlog picked it up in 1979. The magazine was for amateur and almost-pro moviemakers working in 8, Super 8, and 16mm. It ran until 1987. Before AI you had to actually read stuff, like magazines, to learn stuff. Take a look at that cover price and pine away for the days we spent hanging around the newstand to see what new magazines (and comics!) hit the racks. I wasn’t a big reader for Starlog or Cinemagic unless the magazine’s cover grabbed me enough to not let it go. In this issue there are shots and a blurb on Leonard Nimoy doing an episode of the Nickelodeon Standby…Lights! Camera! Action!. If you’re too young to know what I was talking about regarding newstands, no worry…here you go; no hanging out needed.
