I just pulled out my Antic magazine collection from the basement. All original bought at the local book store with my hard earned newspaper delivery money back in the mid-late 80s. Memoreeez. Man, I remember typing-in my first program listing and I didn't even have a tape drive or disk drive. Just kept the 800XL on until I owned the game. My collection is kinda musty from the past 28 years. I inserted them all into plastic magazine sleeves. I put them into a storage bin with a box of baking soda. I noticed I even have the last issues of STart magazine with the Antic section. I kept buying until Antic's last breath in 1991. Anyways, I'm keeping my collection for nostalgia.

I had a pretty awesome score of ANTIC and STart (for free!) on my local craigslist a few years back... All of '86 and '87.. most of '88, a few '84 and '85. I think every issue of STart.

 

I have a few doubles from '84 - March, April, July, August and December that I'd like to trade.

The STart mags really don't interest me either, so they are all available (except December '90 - May '91, those included the ANTIC section) too.

 

I'm looking for the following:

 

1982 or 1983 - any

1984 - May or September

1985 - any except February, March or December

1988 - June

 

PM me if anyone's interested! I'd really like to complete my 1984.

Complete list of Antic Magazines

 

Antic began publication 4/82, Volume 1, Issue 1.

They were bi-monthly for the first Volume, six issues.

Starting 4/83 (Vol. 2:1), Antic became monthly.

They published monthly until 9/89, missing only one month

(5/84), making the volume year end with April issue instead

of March issue. That's 65 consecutive monthly issues from

2:1 to 8:5.

 

Starting 10-11/89, Antic became bi-monthly again (issue

8:6), and were bi-monthly for only 5 issues. Volume 8 only

had 8 issues. 10-11/89 (8:6), 12-1/89-90 (8:7), 2-3/90

(8:8, 4-5/90 (9:1) and 6-7/90 (9:2), <-- the last issue of

a separate Antic. There was no 8-9/90 Antic. Then Antic was

put as a section of STart magazine for 4 issues (10, 11, 12,

1/90-91). Then STart, still with an Antic 8-bit section,

went bi-monthly for the last 2 issues (2-3/91 and 4-5/91)

monthly issues (10, 11, 12, 1/90-91). Then STart went

That's 94 issues total, including issues in STart, 88

separate issues of Antic.

Thanks for the info... I won't worry about finding a May 1985 Antic! Also, I'll hold onto my October and November 1990 STart mags.
