Science Fiction Darkside

Science Fiction Darkside is a fanzine published by Canadian David Owens (Website). The fanzine's aim is to "focus exclusively on sci-fi TV shows and movies that explore the darkside of space fantasy and adventure", and the initial issues are dedicated to Space 1999. This is very much the traditional type of print fanzine, with a mixture of episode guides and character profiles, fan fiction and art. While the content isn't very different from fanzines of the 1980s and 1990s, the production quality is good, the standard of the art and writing is high and a vivid imagination is evident from the contributors.
