A Star Trek Hall of Fame kicks off this second half of Quasimodo's Monster Magazine Issue 8 as the movie is "90% set," followed by a comic, Star Wrecked vs: Spaced-Out 19991/2 (a fan produced one, I'd say). Don Wigal explores Shark Fever with Jaws (a very informative article on the production, Steven Spielberg, and the movie's influence). Another good article by Ed Connor discusses silent serials, and a short look at 1931's The Spider with Edmund Lowe as a magician (he also played Chandu the Magician in the 1932 movie of the same name, being vexed by Bela Lugosi). Finishing off the issue is an interview with author Edward Edelson on his science fiction films book, Visions of Tomorrow. All told, this issue packs some punch with its articles.
