Star Begotten/Weird/Soft Targets/625

After a pause of a mere three decades (!), the majority of issues of Star Begotten are again available, printed mostly from the original master copies, although with some improvements due to developments in the technology in the intervening years (e.g. some photos in full colour, rather than the original b/w).

Issues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9/10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 17 are now available on eBay here.

Issues 7/8, 16, 18, 19, and 20 - along with all four issues of Soft Targets - will be available again in due course.
