I think I remember this 'zine, I'd heard of it though I wasn't a subscriber--think you were no longer publishing by the time I got into fandom.  But a friend of mine I believe WAS a subscriber.  ;)

Hey this artwork looks familiar, did you by chance put out the Howlers comic as well?

It seems to me that you have the actors' faces drawn perfectly!!  They are very recognizable.  Simply wonderful.  Sure, love to see more.

  I'd definately be interested in seeing more.  I used to subscribe to your zine and remember the Manhattan Shadows Cons fondly.  Any chance we might see another MS?

I attended one Manhattan Shadows con in April 1986 I think it was, at the Halloren (sp?) House which is now a Marriott or something.  It was a fun con.

Nope, Howlers was drawn by Bill Branch.  HILARIOUS comics btw, they truly were 'howlers'!  ;)  Wish he'd drawn more but I believe he left fandom shortly after producering that one comic.
