(May 1981) (Chris Rock, Chairman)
In his description of this issue on his website, Chris writes: "There were 4 active members and 3 inactive. Account balances ranged from $0.00 to $1.74. There were 15 subbers -- 4 were receiving their last issue. And on page three was the last-minute addition of applicant Jim Main. My contribution notes that I imagined issues would become bimonthly for a time. I ran three photocopied pages from Comics Feature #2 by Jay Zilber, his piece titled 'Trufan Confessions' on the BPP/UFO continuum and the flaws and demise of the UFO. Illos by Kurt Erichsen."
