Memories
Steve Holland is amazed at how many
people remember Starblazer. "It's
now over fifteen years since the last issue appeared but the Starblazer
pocket books appeared regular as clockwork throughout the 1980s at
the rate of two new titles a month so I guess over the nearly twelve
years it appeared a vast army of young science fiction fans, high on Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica, sought
them out.
