My Blue Heaven by ~pronker on deviantART

IOIIOIOIO

Agent With Style DOT com is a happy place for me. Long ago, I owned many 'zines gathered through the '70's and '80's and with attrition, they had 98% gone the way of all good things. So this site offers for sale 'zines from many favored fandoms, among them, Star Wars. I remember owning Outland Chronicles #1 from the '80's (?1985) along with others, the prices being from the site yesterday. Also, the table of contents from Outland Chronicles #1 holds an interesting name: Karen Miller.

EAD: This table of contents is from Hydrospanner Zero, a zine from about the same time:

Given the longevity of Miller's interest in the fandom, I'm wondering if, long ago, I read a story of hers. It's a common name, however. And now, in the italicized Anne Davenport entry, is this the Anne Davenport over on TFN? It's a bit more unusual name. Complete self-indulgence in posting these tables of content, as merely seeing the names Brin, Mularski, Agel and Webster get my brain creaking as it processes this blast to the past.

Ooh, a classic Chinese style picture, looks great. Of course, Jedi robes are rather Oriental looking so it's a good fit.

Thanks, yes, it was fun to draw so minimally. I'm really into silhouettes and they're a challenge to make the lineart very crisp, so as to show up well for contrast. Thanks for commenting!

That's a sweet drawing. You know what I'm singing in my head now... ?

Thanks for commenting!

[pronker]

I have a good idea.

I love zines!! I still have a bundle of ones from the 80s and 90s - Wookiee Commode and Tremor in The Force wre my favourites!

Hee, Wookiee Commode sounds like a hoot.

[pronker]

Go you! I remember Tremor and maybe a few others - Outland Chronicles in particular and other SW ones that I can't recall. The names of the artists and authors, though, they sprang right up: Wanda Lybarger, Christine Jeffords and others. The zines I have left are about six letterzines from the Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea fandom, and some of the zines that the letterzines recommended are at agentwithstyle.com; numerous stories that were in zines are at http://www.somerescue.com/CE--FanFicMenu.htm which is fun to bounce around in now and then.

Love the artwork! :)

Thanks! I did have fun creating in blue.

I've just seen another table of contents for another zine from about the same time with a Miller story in it. 'Where No Corellian Has Gone Before' is a blend of ST and SW, ambitiously enough.
