Beginning in 1976, Starlog magazine chronicled the science fiction field, taking readers behind the scenes of the films, TV programs, books, games, art, and more. Long before the internet became the place to learn news about upcoming films and television programs, science fiction fans found this news in the pages of Starlog. And they argued about all of it in the letters pages, long before Facebook or online chat rooms became popular.

The Starlog Compendium is an issue-by-issue synopsis of the first 200 issues of Starlog magazine. With information on the magazine's evolution along with a listing of every article in every issue, this compendium is the companion for your Starlog collection-or your guide to accumulating your collection.
