Remembering Starlog Magazine - Growing Up in America 

Wow!!!! Thank you so much for this! This is my childhood/teen-hood. I too only bought from the newsstand. That was part of the experience, just like picking up issues of Famous Monsters. Those magazines kept me dreaming.... 💫

I STILL miss Starlog to this day. There's never been anything like it since.

Starlog Magazine#1 was important for fans watching Star Trek reruns. That issue had the Star Trek episode guide. Once you figured out the rerun schedule on your local tv station, you could figure out the day you needed to watch in order to catch any episodes you missed.

Starlog and Fangoria were my goto magazines in their day.

Dude I swear there must have been a herd of us separated at birth that loved all of the exact same things. That magazine along with TV Guide was my internet. Great video! Thanks

Really strange -- I found your channel randomly yesterday while searching for Hawk from Buck Rogers. And now this: I'm proud to own the copy of Starlog with Hawk on the cover. 😁 That magazine was great!

My first issue was number 7 when I was 15. It's the Star Wars issue back in 1977.

More than ever, we need that kind of magazine today. Thanks for letting us all know that older issues remain available today. Loved that magazine as it told me of movies to come that I didn't know were in production.

Thank you, Dave, for bringing back some more good memories! I subscribed to STARLOG and FUTURE magazines, and was a member of the Science Fiction Book Club for a while. I can still remember checking the mail box for the latest issues of STARLOG and FUTURE and being so excited when they arrived. As I recall, STARLOG was the science-fiction/fantasy-based magazine while FUTURE was the science-fact-based publication that was somehow associated with the publishers of STARLOG. I think I also had some kind of subscription to receive outer space artwork in cardboard tubes that was somehow related to FUTURE magazine, though my memory of the specifics fails me at the moment. The artwork may have simply been a side benefit of subscribing to FUTURE. I also remember somehow getting on the mailing list for a catalog of science fiction and fantasy products that was published in the format of something like a small newspaper. I can't recall the name of the catalog. Videos of Gene Roddenberry's TV shows and movies were available (Star Trek, Spectre, The Questor Tapes, etc.), the SEARCH TV show episodes (starring Hugh O'Brian), Kung Fu (with David Carradine), obscure science fiction and fantasy movies, and so much more. I enjoyed the way a synopsis for each episode of a TV series was usually listed with just enough detail that I could use it as a sort of abbreviated episode guide. Ah, I miss the good, old days of youthful innocence, excitement, and enthusiasm!

I always wanted that warriors jacket.

As a teen I received 🌟 log , Rolling Stone , Cream & Sports Illustrated. 🌟 log had really good writers. Was not just a pictorial " geek " mag !

Dave, you rock! This was absolutely my favorite magazine growing up, never missed an issue!

While I never knew of Starlog magazine, I visited the Starlog Store around the corner from where I worked, at the Garden State Plaza, Paramus, NJ, a bunch of times. What an awesome store!! Entering you went up 2 shallow perforated metal steps that stretched across the entire storefront and then you stopped in your tracks. While not quite the bridge of the Enterprise, the sounds, especially the sounds, and the design style made you feel you were really, really there!!! On the Bridge of the Enterprise!!! The merchandise selection was vast for the store's size. Comics galore, figurines, masks, toys and everything else Sci-Fi. Picture all the merch at a Comic Con jammed into 1000 square feet!!!! It was there for a few years then it quietly disappeared, just as it had appeared. Here's a description of the store from it's manager I just found before writing this. Scroll down to commenter 4, Jordan, and enjoy!!! forum.rebelscum.com/showthread.php?t=893018

I remember Starlog

AND Fangoria! Thanks for the wonderful memories Dave ❤️

Hi Dave! Starlog was a great magazine and covered all areas of Sci-fi and was a must read for sci-fi fans. I loved the early issues of the late 70’s and 80’s and still have all my original copies. I also loved the Starlog specials like the book on Robots. From Star Wars, Alien, Battlestar Galatica to Buck Rodgers, Starlog covered it all!

I'm a few years older than you and in my late teens/early adult years I worked in a grocery store that had a fairly large magazine & paperback section so I was able to build a large collection of 150+ of the old Starlog mags and, especially, Star Trek paperbacks. Sadly I had to sell them at a garage sale my Wife and I did around 1995. There was this one guy that came in and saw them. His eyes lit up and asked "How much for it all?!?" I was relieved and thrilled to find a fellow fan and sold them all to him for $10 if I remember. He was like a kid who had just scored the Christmas Jack Pot! I know he enjoyed them as much as I did....but that's what it's all about. We share the things we love with others that love them just as much. Thank you SO MUCH for these videos you share with US! (BTW, Starlog was where we went BITD to find out all the dope on what was coming...today we have YT! AND you are DEAD ON! At first it WAS the Revenge Of Kahn!)

I remember paying 50 cents for TV Guide. I could sit for hours reading every single entry. Wow. Great memories. I bought some back issues of Starlog for their episode guides. Still have them in my closet and I know I'll rummage through those later. Of course now I'm also thinking about Modern Screen, Rona Barrett's Hollywood Magazine, Photoplay magazine, etc. Back when 75 cents bought you a nice sized chock full of stories and photos from the real golden age magazine . Thanks for reminding me of the wonderful youth I had.

Thanks for this trip down memory lane. I started reading Starlog when I was in middle school around sixth or seventh grade. I loved the coverage it gave tp the various Star Trek movies and TV shows (I was a reader when The Next Generation was starting out). I still remembered the tenth anniversary issue which they covered films like Short Circuit, Aliens, Big Trouble In Little China, The Fly, heck even Space Camp. I still kept reading it up until it ceased publication in 2009 (anout the time my mother died.) Those were two things I mourned that year. I also belong to a fan group on Facebook that talks about Starlog and the various articles that appeared in it.

Do you want to hear a story that will break your Hearts? I had all 374 issues of Starlog when our house was For closed on. Some of them were autographed by Mark Hamill Adam West Armin Shimermin and George Takei ,but because we had to move, my brother had a garage sale and sold the whole collection for$2.00! If I knew at the time, that wouldn't ever have happened.

Excellent Trip, Thank you for taking us along...🤗👍👍👍

I loved Starlog, and still have my old copies. Thank you!!

Boy I do remember STAR Log.! That was the good old days 👍👍

Yeah lord of fond memories of starlog! It’s cool that you can read the back issues. These days there are some similar magazines namely “SFX” magazine. But somehow the style of Star log articles and cover art was just better!

OOOOOH SNAP!....I have a big stack of starlogs... I loved that mag...as well as DYNAMITE..PIZAZZ.. and WIZARD...love this un dave..way ta go👍

Just after I got my first after school job as a teenager, I remember walking home one evening and stopping in a small convenience store to get a soda and found myself browsing their newsstand and ended up coming away with a couple of comic books and a copy of Starlog. And for the next several years this became a regular thing for me. I remember a lot of those articles, personal interviews with the cast and crews of the various shows and movies that I loved, pieces about upcoming shows and movies and retrospectives of older ones. In particular I remember a particular commemorative issue celebrating Star Wars' 15th anniversary, and reading and rereading an article within telling the history of original Star Wars comic series by Marvel and summaries pictures from some of it's best issues, most of which I'd never known about, and it inspired me to eventually seek out those books to read for myself. Eventually though, as they spun off their Star Trek coverage into a separate magazine all to itself, and Star Wars got their own fan club magizine, and there were less and less of the nostalgia pieces I enjoyed, I stopped reading some time in the 90s. Starlog seemed to disappear from most newsstands by the dawn of the 21st century, and I'm actually surprised to hear that it survived until the mid-2000s. Ah, well.

I remember the ad for the Battlestar GALACTICA Warrior jackets. I really, really wanted one but never got one . . . until decades later. I'd seen them in person prior to getting mine and knew they weren't exactly like the ones worn by Starbuck, Apollo, Boomer and the rest but the seven year old in me still really, really wanted one. After getting it, a medium when a large would have fit better, I was disappointed and ended up reselling it. Seeing the licensed and fan made screen accurate jackets turned me off to the old school one. I suppose if I ever come across another one I'll go ahead and get it and appreciate it for what it is.

I filled out the order from and got really excited over that jacket. My Mom had said I needed a new coat. So I thought perfect here's one. She looked at it and said no it'll never keep you warm enough. I remember showing her a picture of Starbuck and saying look at it begging. It didn't have a hood to cover my head and just wouldn't work to keep me warm in the winter. So not meeting Mom's standards I never got that jacket. I'm 53 now maybe I should get over it.

I should of kept my old Starlog mags thanks for sharing the memories

DUDE!!!! Star-Log was the shit! I was 13 when I subscribed to that magazine for years. I even collected the magazines for years. The articles were excellently written, and their sci-fi images could not be matched by any other publication. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Peace.

thank you for sharing your memories. i really loved the first few years of starlog. i remember seeing it for the first time at our local IGA grocery store. i read it on the 'newstand'. it was the summer of 1976. that issue seemed to hang around forever. it seemed like many months before the next issue arrived. i was 14 at the time. the summer of 1976 was a great one for me. it was filled with sandlot sports, eating watermelon nearly every day, many, many comic books, will eisner's the spirit from warren, the shadow in paperback, happy days on tv, much talk of girls, bike races. for whatever reason i also remember that my friends and i all wore plain white t-shirts that summer. i liked the white t-shirts because they reminded me of the shirts spin and marty wore on the repeats of the mickey mouse club! i could go on and on. it was also the summer i discovered nectarines! lol any way, i loved starlog and especially those year in review extra pages issues. oddly, i don't recall future magazine, but i do recall fangoria debuting in the summer of 1979.

Gosh, I still remember the first Starlog television commercial with Robby the robot. The era of this magazine and the launch of Fangoria, both made growing up in the 80s so much more fun.

I discovered Starlog in the early 90s and picked up several copies throughout 98-2001. It’s the one magazine I truly miss.

I loved Starlog! When working a recycling route someone threw out the first 30 or so issues. I had fun reading them and kept them for decades before selling them. I didn't even know they stopped making them. Thanks for the update!

I was a big fan of Starlog and subscribed to it so as not to miss an issue. I bought many of the books they sold and several of the caps that the Thinking Cap Co, sold. I wore that Alien hat nearly to death. It was literally falling apart. I also bought all the Star Trek novels, I think they were numbered 1 to 12. I still have them somewhere.

I always loved it when I had the money to get an issue. I was always on a tight budget so I’d carefully appraise the content before purchasing. In college a friend got an internship at Starlog/Fangoria. I was one of her few friends who knew what they were. Thanks for the video!

I loved Starlog! Amazed they didn't have the foresight to go digital. Even if you can find everything on the internet, I miss the days of unexpectedly discovering things in magazines and books and knowing the right stores to look.

I can't remember what issue was my first purchase, but I took advantage of their 'back issues'. I ordered all the issues before my first purchase, and also ordered the other books and magazines. Spaceships, Aliens, Weapons, etc...I also subscribed to Future, Cinemagic, Fangoria as the sister publications as I was making Super 8 SF movies. I think I was 11 at the time. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I still have all the books and magazines.

First discovered Starlog when issue 18 came out. Was hooked instantly. Only magazine I ever read cover to cover. Got a subscription immediately and kept it going for many years. At some point, life got too busy for me to have time to read it anymore and I let my sub run out. I still have fond memories of it. As a gay kid who got picked on a lot, I loved to escape into the world of Sci Fi. Decades later I learned the publisher of Starlog was a gay man.

Another Starlog fan here. Did you know Starlog also had retail stores? There was one at the King of Prussia Mall just outside of Philadelphia. It was a sci-fi geeks dream. It closed right before the magazine ended it's run.

LOVED Starlog magazine. Didn't start buying it until after issue #7 (first Star Wars issue), but I bought and read it for many, many years. Still have a bunch of them that I saved.

Great magazine I think I may still have a copy somewhere in my office. Keep up the good work.

My first issue of Starlog was #31. Mine was at an IGA store in my hometown, that had the best selection of magazines, and books. The feature was Disney's The Black Hole, but I bought it mostly because it had an article on The Empire Strikes Back. They had pictures from the set, and they listed some crazy rumors about the plot, one of which involved a space queen who would be played by Zsa Zsa Gabor. After that Starlog was a monthly habit until around 1988. Starlog was where I saw the first photo of Boba Fett from the set of Empire. It was where I learned about Doctor Who, Mad Max, and many other movies, including...Mega Force. I recently purchased the Mega Force blu ray, and I can tell you it's still a horrible movie, but it's fun to watch. Thanks for posting your videos Dave, they always take me on a nice trip down memory lane. I have a collection of the Dell Marvel books, both the reprints, and the original prose novels. I loved those books.

Wow my favorite mag , I couldn't wait till came out. I would buy it right away. There was a page in the back that I called the big tease page, it had movies that were coming out per month then it had what was in development. That was the tease. It would say NAMOR TO XMEN but it took another 20yrs for comic movies to really hit it big. Thanks Dave for this little trip to happy reading...RIP STARLOG

CONGRATULATIONS! This is the first you tube posting that I have ever seen get no dislikes. I still have that Starlog Revenge of the Jedi issue.

I still have that "Wrath of Khan" issue. Have good memories of it.

I, of course, had a subscription to Starlog, as any self-respecting Nerd would have. 😁🖖 Another wonderful video to take me back, David. Thank you.

Dave, that was a phenomenal Tribute. You and I must've lived parallel lives. The only bit of info that I will add. I bought "Starlog" mainly for its coverage of "Star Trek"...but by 1986 I think "Cinefantastique"'s coverage of Trek had exceeded what "Starlog" was doing. Even today...all these years later, I'm having dreams of walking into Barnes & Nobles and seeing one of those big "Cinefantastique" double sized Trek Tribute issues.

Hey Dave - Way to go! Loved that Magazine, and like a lot of things - wish I still had some of them today.. :)

I remember seeing Starlog, Fangoria, Mad Magazine, Monsters Unleashed and others that all had comics on those awesome, ubiquitous comic spinner racks for so long that one would think that these treasures would always just be around a newstand very near you. :)

Gaaahhhh!! Too much in the video that I want to address! 😁 Like you, Dave, I spent many hours in a department store. My father worked for Woolco. I too was an avid _Starlog_ reader as well. I was so disappointed when it stopped being published. I don't think I would have followed them online. It's just not the same. Having said that, ironically I downloaded all those archived _Starlogs_ because I was afraid that they might go one day. I too really wanted one of those Battlestar Galactica jackets. In my memory, there was an ad for them in every single issue ─ taunting me.😂 And I know what you mean about Battlestar Galactica vs Star Wars at the time. As I'm sure you'll agree, it wasn't a competition. We were just thrilled to get more great sci-fi. The one scene that really got me excited which was on the television ads (and I'm almost positive there was a still of it in Starlog) was when they were in the depths of the planet _Carillon._ Starbuck, Apollo and company were traversing a bridge in the caves, blasting away at the _Ovions_ chasing them. I quite liked the way Battlestar Galactica got away from having to paint laser bolts on film each week. A flash from the muzzle of the blaster, then suddenly - what they're aiming at goes _BOOM!_ Another great video Dave! Thanks! When I saw _Starlog Magazine_ in the thumbnail, it was all I could do to stop myself from commenting before I even watched the video! 😄 Oh, and I forgot to mention (or maybe I didn't 🤔) but Gil Gerard appears in the beginning of one of those Star Trek New Voyages episodes I mentioned. He can be seen in episode 4x08 _"Kitumba."_

I run a few fansites for retro shows and I love using Starlog Magazine for in-depth content! Been scouring back issues for nearly 20 years. I know I've bought a few in my teens and early 20's. (90s to 2001) They also made Epi-log which was so cool for episode guides and show info. And Comics Scene.

I wanted that Battlestar Galactica jacket as well! Great Video, Thank You! I thought starlog would be around forever too!

This video brought back a lot of fond memories. Throughout the 80's I always looked forward to the latest issue of Starlog. I would get them at my local candy store where I also bought my comic books. Then when the candy store went out of business, I would get it at Waldenbooks, where I also purchased a lot of my science fiction paperbacks. Damn, I miss the 80's

WOW this really brought back memories. This was the first magazine I ever subscribed to. And YES, I wanted that Battlestar jacket too! :-)

Starlog is where I first heard about forbidden planet , great magazine !

Loved Starlog as well as Cinefantasique growing up. My best friend in high school actually bought the BSG jacket and it was well worth every penny he paid for it.

Megaforce has gotten the RiffTrax treatment!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I always enjoyed these kind of magazines my dad passed down his famous monsters magazines down to me cause I loved this so much I don't have any starlog magazines but it would be great to own some especially star trek love that show also love these classic magazines the good stuff as you say which is true i also own film fax magazines I think its what their called but yea love this stuff

I purchased issue #1 as soon as I saw it on the newsstand and was hooked immediately. I subscribed when I could but more often than not, I had to wait for new issues to be released, meaning there were gaps in my collection. Over the years, I have been able to fill those gaps in and now my collection is complete (with a few duplicates here and there) mainly thanks to Ebay and Mile High Comics in Denver. It's fun to review those old issues and track the history of the Indiana Jones movies or the Alien series, not to mention Star Trek and Star Wars of course. I would like to think that Starlog could be revived somehow, not necessarily as print media, but in some sort of digital or streaming format.

I'm 66 and a TOS guy like no other. But, I've never heard of or seen, in all my travel since those days long ago, of Starlog Magazine. I lived in the grocery store magazine/book section and never saw it. Dave, you said you only had one store in your town that was complete enough to carry it. I guess it was the various stores option not to carry it if it wouldn't sell.

#9 is the most popular one. They are kewl.

Star Log. Amazing. I remember it well. Dave. To me Star Trek the original was and still is my favorite TV series of all time. Star Log was the best info, before youtube and the internet, for back stories of your favorite Sci Fi TV and movie entertainment. Thanks so much for the upload. By the way, just followed you on twitter. 😉

Starlog has remained a highlight of my literary life! . . . Fortunately I still own all my original issues #7 - #69 and I enjoy looking through and re-reading them. They're like pleasant sci culture time capsules! Never get tired of them. . . Do you also remember Marvel's Pizzazz Magazine? Maybe you can do a segment on those??

I had a subscription for the longest time and I even have some of my old Starlogs stored away with my comics. I also had a subscription to Fangoria which I enjoyed too, maybe a future video on this? Thanks for the video Dave.

I met the publisher Mr O'Quinn at a convention in Florida.

Still have my copies of Starlog also have some Starlog trading cards. I take them out and read them now and then .

Starlog was great. I remember the article about Burt Ward and how often he got injured on "Batman". Now if I want info about how a movie was made I usually read Cinefex. Check out those you-tube tutorials about the RED camera. MAD magazine has ended publication too. Herb Jefferson (on the cover of one of your issues) was a trusted pilot on "Battlestar Galactica" and he was also the hapless sailor who was victimized by "Falconetti" (William Smith) in "Rich Man Poor Man".

Fantastic content! This is what youtube is all about.

My god I Loved StarLog!!!! It was my favorite of them all. The high brow OMNI. Fantastic Films the British StarBurst. I could not get enough. My great love was Star Trek and Classic movies. I remeber an issue with Timothy Dolton on the cover i could have cared less in the pages of this purple covered tome. Lay the photos and names of the cast of Star Trek the Next Generation!!! Led by my most adored Patrick Stewart. Whom I fell in love with in John Boormans Excalibur. I even sat thriugh the Garbage that was Lifeforce and Dune just to get a glimps of him. I loved Starlog. Hey i havexa BSG warriors jacket. Ill be in touch if the size fits ill send it to you man.

I have a few copies of issue #7. That was the Star Wars specific issue with the classic TIE Fighter shooting at the X-Wing cover. I have at least dozens of Starlog mags (*sigh* yes, I'm a geek and they're in plastic)....LOL I was also heavy into Space:1999, Battle Star Galactica, Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century, The Six Million Dollar Man, etc.... In 1977 and 78, there was another Star Wars magazine that unfolded into a big poster. I can't remember what those were called... Maybe you can help me there? Thanks for the geeky video, Dave!

Star log was named for star treks captins log voice over. In a few episodes it was said as star log.

Wow at 51 I've never heard of it. I'll have to check it out. Keep up the great videos!

sadly, i discovered this on wikipedia : "Warehouse fire On December 5, 2007, a warehouse operated by Kable News, in Oregon, Illinois, which contained all back issues of Starlog and Fangoria magazines, was destroyed by fire. As back issues of Starlog are not re-printed, the only remaining back issues are now housed in private collections or those available on the secondary market.[13]"

I too wanted that Battlestar Galactica jacket so bad, but alas, could never afford it...I hadn't realized Starlog had ceased publication :( but thankfully I still have my old collection of Batman, Star Trek and Back to the Future issues somewhere in my storage area gathering dust

In the sixties my magazine of choice was Famous Monsters of Filmland. And in the pre-Starlog days, the only places I could find quality articles on sci-fi were the fanzines Cinefantastique and RBCC (Rockets Blast/Comic Collector).

Here is my favorite story about 'Starlog' Magazine ^_^ I remember reading it when I was a kid, and I think I read it not long after Star Wars came out. A few years later I read about another science-fiction movie that was being made. It had something to do with the crew of a starship going out into space and encountering intelligent lifeforms. To me, it sounded something like a mix between Star Trek and Star Wars.....the best of both worlds. Too younng to have much of my own money to go to the movies myself, I asked an older sibling to take me to the movie, which she did. We got there a bit early, and my first clue that there was something unusual about this movie should have been when I saw a woman exit the theater before it was over, with this very upset look on her face....she must really not like Science-Fiction (as most of my family). Well, I soon learned why, as I saw for the first time the exciting adventures of the crew of the Starship Nostromo, and the lifeform they were trying to 'communicate' with....yes, the movie that I thought was going to be a Star Wars/Star Trek mash up was "Alien". I new nothing about "R" rated movies at the time, but I am certain my sister knew this was a horror movie, and was a bit of a cruel joke on her part (although I forgive her ^_^). That being said, there hasn't been a year since that I haven't had at least one nightmare about giving birth to or running away from H.R. Giger's creation. Also, I'm embarrassed to say, I've developed a certain thing for women who wear T-shirts and tiny, tiny undies (even though I don't have a thing for Miley Cyrus, that "Wrecking Ball" music video awakened some old memories ^_^). I still have issues mouldering away in my storage room, maybe I'll go back and dig some up soon and re-read them ^_^

I still keep a few starlog I miss printed magazines

Starlog was awesome. I followed TNG through it and those special mags that were just tng, complete with mission logs. Awesome video.

I got the star trek magazines at an local auction for $10.00 there were 30 magazines, it was in near mint condition these magazines from someone private collection. They were the first to introduce you to Star Wars now that crazy. Thanks for sharing the story on starlog magazines.👍👍😎 The magazine went out in April of 2009. So there only in the internet to see about them if you like to check them out.

Hey Dave! Greetings and Felicitations! Tally Ho! The space shuttle jacket model isn't her, but she sure resembles Jean Bruce Scott.

Great video (again!!!). Yup, I bought that first issue! Read it cover to cover! If memory serves, it may have come out at the time when they were working on ST: Phase 2, or maybe even before when the plans had originally fell on doing a movie. (Seventies Trek had such a sordid history!) I couldn't afford to stay with the magazine consistently after the first few issues, sadly. BTW- There was another magazine that came out about this time (maybe a little earlier) -"All About Star Trek Fan Clubs". It didn't have the budget Starlog did nor the staying power but look it up if you're not familiar with it. I think there are some PDFs out there. It's a great look at Trek fandom before the movies came out when we only had TOS, TAS, and a handful of novels.

They were sort of active on Facebook until mid 2015. Sister magazine Fangoria still seems to be around.

I read that magazine from 1976 to 1985. Whenever someone reminisces about Starlog Magazine I like to remind everyone about the ads for Starlog's exclusive "1941" tie-in merchandise that ran for months and months, which I don't think they could ever sell on account of the film being a notorious bomb. Starlog would promote anything sci-fi/fantasy or Lucas/Spielberg genre-related regardless of quality. It was a way to keep abreast of what was coming up, but after awhile I stopped caring about what the latest thing from Amblin would be.

I loved Starlog!

Use to read Starlog back in the day before the Internet and it was entertaining and brought you up to date with television shows like the ones you mentioned we here the UK thought it would go on forever but I guess with the web that changed everything I wonder if there's going be a next generation version in graphic format or a paperback version the stories behind the publication with the original team behind the magazine or a television series based on the magazine? One magazine that explained the world of movies and television shows that change the universe

Great magazine. Thanks for the video.

What are "anti-Adam Est Batman Days"? As a kid, I watched Batman the TV religiously in reruns, and took it seriously. I was shocked one day when one of my older friends told me it was a comedy.

A substantial number of Starlog mags are available for free download at archive.org. They might even have the full print run. (Entered before hearing the end of commentary.)

I miss that magazine. ❤

I read Starlog religiously. It's sister publication ComicScene was one I picked up regularly too. I miss those old-school fanzines. Oh, and do you remember the 1970's live-action Saturday morning show Jason of Star Command? It was a spin-off of Filmation's other live action show Space Academy. Sid Haig, the actor who played the main villain, Lord Drago, passed away this past week at the age of 80.

I actually did get the Battlestar Gallactica jacket and still have it. I also still have a couple of early magazines including the one with the cover of Space 1999 and one with the Six million dollar man and Bionic woman. I also got the technical manual that they produced for Space 1999, along with their Aliens, robots and weapons books. They were great.

Yes STARLOG 💫 ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️‼️Some of mine are in protective plastic bags ❣️‼️😅😂🤣 (Well it was said Jedi don’t take revenge apparently )bummer ‼️Thanks Dave for the stroll 🚶‍♀️ down memory lane‼️You and yours have a great one❣️❣️❣️‼️ I heard STARLOG Building burned down⁉️

I also recall purchasing Starlog at whichever store had it. I don't recall ever considering to subscribe to it though but in hindsight I definitely should have.

THOUGHT THAT STAR TREK WAS A DOCUMENTARY 😊 Weed Me

Dave unfortunately I don't think that Starlog magazine was available in New Zealand. If it was I don't remember it. It still amazes me that the original Battlestar Galactica U.S. T.V. show only lasted for one season. I absolutely loved it. I did have a huge crush on Richard Hatch (Captain Apollo) back then so that may be why. I was only eight/nine though! 😀 I was very sad when I saw online that he had passed away of pancreatic cancer in 2017.

My God you"re a nerd....and such a lovable one!

Great video! We love Starlog magazine too!

For me, Starlog was some early self-nerd identification. Not something that a jock or popular kid would be caught with but we nerdy folk who were nerds before it became fashionable often had one at school!

i loved starlog. i got my convention lnfo. from starlog.
