What is "starlog"

Starlog was a monthly magazine devoted to science fiction books, films, and television series. Published by Starlog Group, Inc. and created in 1976 by publishers Kerry O'Quinn and Norman Jacobs, it was one of the longest-running and most popular publications of its type. Starlog was one of the first publications to report on the development of the first Star Wars movie, and it followed the development of what was to eventually become Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979).

Many fans of the long-running magazine considered its heyday to have been the late 1970s and early 1980s; in later years many of its long-time contributors had moved on. Nonetheless, it continued to boast genre journalists such as Jean-Marc Lofficier, Will Murray, and Tom Weaver.

Starlog is currently a digital magazine published by The Brooklyn Company, run by longtime Fangoria President Thomas DeFeo. Over 200 issues of Starlog have been digitized into PDF format.
