RE: [ZION] Magazine Subscriptions
John Redelfs: I subscribe to several magazines, and plan to subscribe to a couple more. I was curious about what magazines, if any, the rest of you value enough to subscribe to. ___ The Ensign, New Era, and Friend. We will let our Friend subscription lapse next summer because we will no longer have a child in Primary (unless one of us gets called to serve in that organization). The Church News. National Geographic. I have been a life member since 1977. It's for the photography, of course, although it has come in handy for a school project or three. That's it, except for the daily paper, which comes in handy for painting projects, extra packaging material, and as Ben Franklin suggested (if I owned a bird), the bottom of the birdcage.

Re: [ZION] Magazine Subscriptions
*Alter-Ego* was the fanzine which created comics fandom, back in 1960. There had been a few 'zines before -- one as far back as the 1930s -- but Dr. Jerry Bails & Roy Thomas (mainly Jerry) really got the ball rolling with A/E. Jerry & Roy were instrumental in the revival of the Justice Society (called Justice League in the new version) and Roy even ended up "going pro" -- first working for DC (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc.), then for Marvel for almost 20 years, then DC for a short time, then freelance -- and now he's a farmer. AND an editor, because he revived *Alter Ego* (this time, without a hyphen) a few years back. John Morrow publishes it for Roy (http://www.twomorrows.com/alterego/index.html) and it is, IMHO, better than ever. And you're hearing from someone who used to get copies of it in the 1960s! The two latest issues include a heart-warming tribute to Jerry Bails (Which was difficult to keep secret from Jerry) and, most currently, a big ol' interview with Joe Sinnott and a deep interview with Irwin Donefield, whose father "re-started" DC (National Publications) in 1936 or 1937; Irwin himself became the head of National and of magazine distributor Independent News until sometime around 1968. These were in the days when comics which sold fewer than 200,000 copies each issue - were cancelled. Most of the contributors to A/E are professionals now (Michael Gilbert, Jim Amash, Mark Evanier, to name three) but it still retains that fannish feeling. 'smatter of fact, Roy liked one spoof that I did for the Alter-Ego Fans list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/alter-ego-fans/) that he's planning to run it in a (very) future A/E. (It's a spoof of issue #50, so it will be years yet.) *jeep! --Chet "Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
