I was lucky. I could buy magazines at dirt cheap prices at "the auction" a sort of farmer's market/flea market type place. 99% of the Magazine names would be cut off the cover page. I got most of the 16 Magazine back issues there and would comb thru the towers of old (and relatively current) magazines is search of DS pictures. I used to get "movie star" magazines there too; Magazines devoted to one star. And Famous Monsters. I bought new issues at the local candy store. The proprietor hated my going thru the mags to see if DF was in them but I was extremely careful with them (before and after purchase). I still remember how thrilling it was to find glossy color portraits or four framed headshots from 1897 and Leviathan. Buying the older mags with DS in them is what made me so excited when I found the VHS DS tapes at the video store. I had become so familiarized with the characters prior to 1897, especially Winters/Haskell/Angelique and Adam/Blair and Mrs. Johnson and even Jenny but especially zombie Quentin with the knife sticking out of his chest, rofl... The trading cards had the same lure too. I never thought I would get to see pre Petofi DS, not in a million years. That was an impossible dream come true.
