(aka Vol 1, Issue 3)
Fall 2006
Squid Grrrl: Teal Day
Print run: 400(?), Office Depot
Notes: World Fantasy Issue. First appearance of regular contributor Derek J. Goodman. Wildly embarrassing copy-editing mistake means that many copies have Ryan Oakley’s name stickered over a name that is not his. At this point, it’s clear that we have no idea how the “Vol./Issue.” naming convention works. Editor’s note suggests this is self-copied on Sanjay, our first free copier, but Sanjay died before we actually went to print. Official salute to Inferno/Krusher issue. Mikal Trimm established as nemesis.
