(Special thanks to
The Official
John Carpenter for some of these articles)
Note: Very few of these magazines sell back issues. Therefore I decided to begin
to scan some articles featured in OOP (out of print) magazines not sold by the
ones who made them. If someone feel that I violate some copyright laws or just
don't want me to have an article here,
just let me know
and I'll remove it. However, a few magazines can still be ordered from the
Items - Magazines page.
