Published October 1986
Debut issue: “…in early 1986 I let some fellow editors know that I intended to publish a collection that might turn into a magazine.” At the time, I was already editing and publishing a horror magazine, Doppelgänger, which I later turned over to someone else. The first “issue” of Not One of Us was designed as a collection (hence, the lack of issue number on its cover) and was much longer than the magazine issues that followed.
