FANTASTIC FILM MAGAZINE BLOWOUT!
STAR ENCOUNTERS #1
APRIL 1978 ISSUE
STAR WARS!  UFO'S!
UNDERGROUND COMIX!  MAKING OF KING KONG!
FIRST ISSUE!
This first issue also  features an 8 page slick color center.
STARLOG magazine's success and the STAR WARS boom spawned many
science fiction TV/movie magazine imitators.  Myron Fass' Stories, Layout, and Press churned out several including SPACE WARS and  this title, STAR ENCOUNTERS!   Due to the low production values,  the magazine was ignored by most serious readers at the time.  Now thanks to that scarcity, weirdly many of those hard to find issues are in high demand, especially in better condition!
This copy is complete with a fairly glossy cover, and appears to be in fine/very fine condition.  Bid aggressively right now to make sure you win this one!
Ships fast and well protected by USPS Priority Mail from Virginia upon payment !

Please note: while I try to accurately grade all comics and magazines, and have been selling since 1976 and on ebay since 2001, I do not consider myself to be a professional grader.  My feedback will show far more buyers happy with my unprofessional grading than unhappy.  My recent feedback will also show that I do not grade the quality of each piece of the artwork or writing in the items I sell.  I have have no idea how anyone could objectively do that, nor have I ever seen a dealer attempt that in 45 years.  I also do not include a page count of how many pages each contributor wrote, penciled, or inked in my listings, nor have I seen other sellers do this.  Aside from how time consuming that would be, I personally prefer to handle each item I list as little as possible so that it gets to you in the very best condition.  Please bid accordingly.  If you do have any specific questions about an item, please contact me.
Sadly, it is time to finally clear out my hoarded archives of collectibles, and I am clearing out several boxes over the next few months.  This collectible magazine comes from a box packed in 1985, and you should check out my other listings for more from this box!  Let me know if there are any other items you are looking for, and if I can find them, I will list them.
CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS AND BID TO SAVE!  PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING IS .75, BUT MOST ADDITIONAL MAGAZINES SHIP FOR ONLY .95 EACH!  CONTACT ME FOR COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL ITEMS YOU WIN FROM ME IN A 7-DAY PERIOD!
UNITED STATES TERMS OF SALE:  I am happy to offer combined shipping for purchases and auction items won within a 7 day period, so please check my other listings and if you have any questions, please contact me at least 24 hours before the auction or buy-it-now listing ends.  I will accept returns on unopened items in the condition shipped.  I package very securely, and have only had one damage claim since I started selling online in 2001, but if your item somehow does arrive damaged, please contact me with pictures so I can file a claim with the shipper.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:  I welcome international buyers, but due to the many added steps to ship to you, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING OR BUYING THIS ITEM so I can give you an accurate quote for shipping and handling, as well as confirm customs and shipping requirements for your country.  Please confirm that this collectible item meets your country's accepted standards and practices, as well as any unique requirements of your country's customs laws to ship this item to you, as well as be aware of any customs inspection delays.  If you bid on or purchase this item without contacting me first, that will constitute an acceptance of all applicable shipping and handling fees and customs compliance requirements.
I was an active seller in the early days of ebay, and you can count on the professional, swift packing and shipping of an active dealer, as well as the care and commitment of a long time collector.  I hope this magazine becomes a valued part of your collection!
