1992: STAR TREK FINAL FRONTIER MAGAZINE Launch Ad


From 1992: A launch ad for the new British STAR TREK magazine FINAL FRONTIER.

This mag was a weird one: I don't think it was ever authorized by Paramount but, initially, side-stepped the issue by licensing TREK related content from STARLOG MAGAZINE.  That deal didn't last so FF continued with what looked like self-generated content... and a lot of stills as padding.

Some of the later issues are all but devoid of content and just a succession of adverts for what appears to have been the publisher's main cash-cow: mail order merchandise. 

This ad appeared in the first issue of MOVIE MAGAZINE (covered here), another Starlog reprint vehicle from the same publisher.
