Bought them for years starting at issue one. I still have some early issues for sentimental reasons. That was the way to get genre news man, and a few others later.

It used to be how I kept track of local Star Trek conventions! :lol
I also bought my first working replica lightsabre through an ad in the back.
I have about 30 issues (I think) from about 1984 to 1995.

I bougt it from 87 till about 98. A couple years back, a friend of mine sold me his collection, so I have almost every issue from 1 till about the time I stopped buying. I'm determined to read all the old SW info.

I think I started w/#two? Had Kirk & Spock on the cover I think..Now I'll have to go check..
I have very fond memories of Starlog & Cinefantastique. They got me completely hooked on fandom. I was most of the way there anyway, but I saw an ad for my first con in there. 'Atlanta Fantasy Faire' and saw photos of costumers at the early cons! I had no idea there was such a thing!

I still have dozens of issues and was always impressed by the journalism and quality of interviews- there's nothing like it around now. I also remember it having the first picture of Michael Keaton in the Batsuit, it was in a shop window opened on that page and stopped me in my tracks...

I remember freaking out when I saw issue one (which if I remember correctly had Kirk Spock and some strange black hole looking thing on it) come out. It was the first time I realized that I was not the only one interested in such things. Great memories.

Ah, good ol' Starlog. This may be hard to believe but back when I was a young lad we didn't have an "internet" so Starlog was always there to let you know just what you need to go see. I loved it as a kid. Had some great pics and info on what was to become some of my favorite films and t.v. shows.

Re: Movies, were you hooked in by STARLOG?
Back in the 70's, my cousin bought them all and passed them on to me. I still have them. Hooked? Oh my, YES! I was absolutely bitten by the bug. I couldn't get enough behind-the-scenes info on model-making and special effects. Starlog (and later, Fangoria) became ridiculously important to me in my formative years. I never got to make special effects or model-making to be my life's work, but the dream never dies. Starlog was wonderful and made me feel like I always had the "inside scoop" on all things sci-fi.

Starlog was the internet for us Sci-Fi freaks of the day. News , conventions and just bad-ass images. I remember getting it ,as well as, Bantha Tracks. I must also throw in Fangoria too.
