Anyone remember this mag published by Newsfield from 1988 - 1991? I still have the first twenty-odd issues.

I remember seeing the ads for it and reading about it in Zzap, but I never actually read an issue of it.
Was it any good? Maybe you could do a scan of the first issue cover for us? :)

Iain, I'll see what I can do with the scan. It was a pretty good magazine to begin with. It reviewed horror, sci-fi and fantasy books and films. I think it went downhill a bit when Newsfield got into trouble. The number of pages and the paper quality started to go downhill.

I did get a couple of them, they covered the horror genre in all media (films, books, games), and it was a pretty good idea with nice presentation - but as Goldie said, they stopped it fairly quickly.
