I've just released my new review ezine, Tales That Astonished. If you're a regular Starscape reader, there's a number of reviews you might have seen before but as time goes on, the older will decrease as newer reviews become more plentiful.

Anyway, Tales That Astonished #1 - free to view and download
http://issuu.com/starscape/docs/talesth ... shed1final
The classic comic reviews magazine features a re-look at:
- Fantasy Masterpiece: the Avengers/Defenders War,
- My Greatest Adventure: the death of Ghost Rider,
- This Day In Comics: a look back at comics from July 1940,
- The Old & The New: comparing the original Silver Surfer #7 with the 2014 version,
- Flicks That Time Forgot: a squint at Spider-Man cartoons vol.1,
- Versus: Thor and Hulk
- Valiant of Old: a celebration of Dan Dare from 2000AD's vaults and
- Showcased: Jack Kirby's New Gods.

I should have posted this a lot sooner but I published a couple more issues of the Tales That Astonished fanzine this year. Totally free from http://StarscapeComic.co.uk

Hi Starscape.
I saw this post a while ago and just wanted to thank you for these thoroughly enjoyable fanzines.
I enjoyed reading them very much, especially the Christmas annuals , Space 1999 and Captain America 4 articles.
Brilliant stuff and as a newer member of this forum, I was unaware that you were a writer and produced these.
Also that you publish a magazine, which I will order and give feedback later.

Hi again Starscape
I tried to purchase but it wants to do it through Paypal.
Problem with that is Paypal uses a confirmation text and my bank (despite my efforts to sort) still has my old mobile phone number,not my current one.
Is there a different method of payment direct from Visa available?

Hi ,I wanted to just purchase a copy of the pocket book that you publish.
The Starscape story paper.
It said I could chose between paypal and card payment, I chose card, it then said something about use paypal and don't need to be a member.
Then said it recognised I was a member and asked me to log in.
That is the problem as my bank has still not changed my phone number and therefore I can't do the verification process.
Obviously if I have made a mistake then I apologize in advance.

I've sent you a message privately.

Many thanks.

Explore the golden, silver, bronze, and lead ages of comics, along with the best of classic sci-fi and fantasy from cinema and the Silver Screen. This issue sees an exploration of cyborgs in comics, including, from 2000AD, M.A.C.H. One versus Two and the saga of M.A.C.H. Zero. From Marvel it's Deathlok against the brutal War-Wolf.
Elsewhere, we explore the golden age characters of Moon Man, Catgirl and Blackshadow. We also look back to the British Jet weekly from 1971, and comics from March 1966, including the first appearances of Galactus and the Silver Surfer. All rounded up by a memory of TVs Space Patrol and a comparison of Marvel UK's the Super-Heroes weekly against DC UK's the Super-Heroes monthly.
