About a year and a half ago I ran into an old friend, writer/publisher Brad Linaweaver, at a Ray Harryhausen book signing at the Dark Delicacies Bookstore in Beautiful Downtown Burbank (sorry, old habits die hard). In any event, I showed him some stills and materials from my (then unauthorized) research into the realm of the Steve Canyon TV Series. He showed me his just-published first issue of MONDO CULT magazine, and then twisted my arm until I agreed to write an article on Steve for the next issue. Gleefully agreed I might add. Not long after that meeting I ended up getting involved with The Milton Caniff Estate in the Restoration Project and have had nary a wink of sleep since. But Brad persisted in his task to get me to write "something", and finally, 4,000 odd words later (and I emphasize the "odd" part) issue #2 of Mondo Cult is out, and with it my article "Steve Canyon, Ace of the Airwaves", the most accurate history of the series there is anywhere (as of this writing). AND, if you look on the cover, in the lower right, in wee tiny, itsy bitsy lettering...
Anyway, you'll notice that Steve Canyon On DVD's bestest loveliest friend-type gal BRINKE STEVENS is on the cover of this issue, and there are 120 pages chock-full of fannish goodness (four of them are mine) concerning sci-fi, horror, movies, TV, literature and a whole slew of other things that we HIGHLY recommend. It is available in many retail outlets, you can find one near you by checking this list of Retail Outlets that carry Mondo Cult Magazine. You can also click here to Order Mondo Cult Magazine online. It's $9.95 a copy plus postage...a pretty good deal (if you ask us) for 120 pages of coolness. Editor Jessie Lilley and Publisher Brad Linaweaver did a really great job and we really enjoyed the experience. Thanks!
P.S. If you do go looking for a local retail outlet that carries MONDO CULT, we recommend calling ahead just to make sure they have it in stock before you "scramble" for the cockpit...
