Spectrum Subscriptions
Right now Spectrum Magazine is on hiatus (as they say in the TV biz) as we get on schedule with our other publications and try to determine a future course for Spectrum. For years, major fantasy cult shows (first The X-Files, followed by Xena and then Buffy/Angel) created a large fan base that helped to support the magazine. Right now there are no shows in that category (some might argue Lost is, and we love the series, but it's not quite in the same category). Our Smallville/Alias issue (#32), which we thought would be a blockbuster, had only mediocre sales. (We're still big fans of Alias, and we check out Smallville from time to time.) So, in all honesty, we're not sure where to go at this point with Spectrum. In the meantime, now's a good time to catch up on those back issues you're missing!

Spectrum Special Edition #1
(June 1995) - Long out of print, we found a few copies in storage and are making them available! This issue collects all of the earliest X-Files material from early issues of Wrapped in Plastic into a single volume! It includes an exclusive interview with Gillian Anderson (WIP 12); the very first review of the series (from WIP 7); a detailed first-season episode guide (WIP 12); an essay on XF and the UFO phenomenon (WIP 12); a review of the David Duchovny/Sheryl Lee episode of Red Shoe Diaries, "Jake's Story" (WIP 6); a review of the second season premiere, "Little Green Men" (WIP 13); and finally a brief report on the rare July 2, 1994 edition of TV Guide with the XF cover that was distributed only on the West coast (and a few other areas) (WIP 12). Not only is Spectrum Special Edition a great collection of XF material, but the issues of Wrapped in Plastic from which the material was gathered are all out of print and very tough to find themselves!
These copies of SSE 1 were originally set aside because they were not quite mint. Even so, they would grade out at a solid very good+ to fine, and sometimes a little better. Our supply is very limited, so if you want one, don't wait! 32 pages.
