Tim was about to give up on the zine and hadnât released one for many months. I contacted him and he said he had plenty of articles but he didnât have the time to retype them and set up templates for them. I convinced him the readers were more interested in the content then that the type was ll the same size and style. So he just put all the articles he had in a double issue and sent them out. This is when we started to alternate issues. Heâd do one and Iâd do one which gave each of us almost two months to put an issue together. Still it took a lot of time as we both used typwriters and then Tim got smart and bought a Brother wordprocessor. I soon invested some hard earned cash into getting one also which enabled us to save the copies on disc and send them back and forth to add material. We still had to cut and paste them and then copy them on a copy machine, put them in envelopes and mail them out.
Youâll also notice the two articles by Bill Connolly, âDjangoâ and âThe Great Silenceâ. Bill sent in a few more reviews to WAI! and then launched his own fanzine âSpaghetti Cinemaâ.
my scanning effort was interrupted by a mishap where i spent 5 bucks and noticed afterwards that i used the wrong size. but iâm hoping to pick up where i left off after the new year, the ulimate goal is to have them all available for the world
dont know about latest issues, but I will make sure all the old ones we used to have as PDF as well as the ones Tom sent me a few years back will all be available digitally soon
Who could i get in touch with about seeing if itâs still in print? I saw their blog but couldnât see any info on becoming a subscriber to it or anything like that.
Thanks to @Talby (welcome to the community by the way), I fixed the WAI downloads (see link above). I will also check which additional issues I have that still need to be scanned and will then check with Tom what more can be done!
It looks like the âDownload PDFâ link is only working for issues 9 and 10 of those newly downloaded. The others are giving me the dreaded âForbiddenâ message.
I am researching a biography of actor Guy Madison and would be grateful for any sources that might help with my work, especially material related to his Italian and European westerns of the 1960s.In particular, I am trying to locate issue no. 11 of the fanzine Westerns allâItaliana â Jan./Feb. 1987 â which, I understand, was dedicated to Madison. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a copy. Would anyone happen to have this issue, or know where I might obtain one? A scanned copy would be perfectly sufficient for my research. I would also be very interested in any other articles, interviews, pressbooks, stills, clippings, or production information connected to Madisonâs Westerns films
glad to hear it works now
