JAPANESE STARLOG


This is a Japanese edition of a Starlog magazine from 1979. It's a softback cover and is full of articles  ranging from Star Trek , Battlestar Galactica  and Godzilla to features on a Hobbit cartoon and the artwork of Shusei Nagaoka who painted the memorable E.L.O. album space station covers.



I've had it since the early eighties and what attracted me was an article on Gerry Anderson's TV series which the magazine titles ITC.



Like most Japanese magazines and guidebooks it's packed with photos, which is handy as my talent for reading Japanese is a lot less than total!



What with the internet and such like most of the photos are fairly commonplace thesedays, however, at the time of me getting it some of the photos were quite new to me



Anyway, I thought you all might like to see it - there's even a fold out poster!
