I've had this through from the guys at ANDERSONIC FANZINE, which I can wholeheatedly recommend - amazingly good value. What else can you get for £2.20 these days - not even Fish 'n' Chips! I'm off to get my copy now! There's an article on X-Planes and Century 21! Now that's right up this blog's street!
"Hi,
As you've previously been a reader of Andersonic, I'm just dropping you a line to let you know about the new issue. Issue 9 is now available, comprising 44 pages and featuring a new 9-page interview with Mike Trim who discusses his work on the Anderson series from Thunderbirds through to UFO. Other features include:-
• Walking on the Moon - A visit to the set of Space:1999's last episode, The Dorcons, in December 1976 and meeting Martin Landau and Keith Wilson. But where exactly do Doctor Who and Kojak fit in?
• Supercar - is the Andersons' first supermarionation series unfaily overlooked in favour of its more colourful descendents? We think it's 'most satisfactory'!
• X Marks The Spot - a look at the X-Planes and concept aircraft of the 50s and 60s that had such an influence on the designers at Century 21. Some may look very familiar...
• Space:1999/ The Last Enemy - a look at Bob Kellett's more kitsch episode from the first series. The women of the Satazius invade, rendering Carter's Eagle impotent! Oo-er!
• The Roots of UFO - a look at the film and literary influences that shaped the format of the Andersons' first live-action series.
• A Question of Miracles Retrospective - four writers evaluate the second episode of Anderson's final puppet series.
• UFO/ Ordeal - No-one does parties like that anymore - or if they do, they don't invite us. Classic episode reviewed.
• Thunderbirds - The dating debate - is it 2026 or 2066? Read both sides of the argument.
• Review Section - Merchandise reviewed.
• Things You Do... when you're a fan. More skeletons from our collective closet.
The new issue is available via the website www.andersonic.co.uk - price £2.20 including UK postage and also from eBay for a limited period. If you'd prefer to pay by cheque or PO, please get in touch for our postal address.
Once again, many thanks for your support of the fanzine in the past, it's always much appreciated. I hope you'll find this issue of interest too.
Regards
Richard "
