The magazine that many of us old-school fans grew up with and geeked out over since the early days of Star Wars fandom has sadly folded, but will continue exclusively as an online publication. Here’s the report from EW.com:
Long before Entertainment Weekly, or Aintitcoolnews.com, or podcasts, Twitter feeds, blogs or THE INTERNET ITSELF, Starlog Magazine was in the business of covering all things geek. Spurred on by the popularity of the Star Trek conventions that cropped up in the wake of the classic series’ cancellation, editor Kerry O’Quinn and publisher Norman Jacobs launched Starlog in August of 1976. And after 33 years and 374 issues, Starlog is officially calling it quits, continuing for the time being as an online-only publication.
So long, Starlog — it’s been quite a ride. Check out the full story here.

A vintage fan classic rides off into the sunset.
A sudden reminiscent-themed day dreamy afternoon brought me here… had a blast doing cartoons for this magazine. Breaks the heart after 29 years it had to fold… and now I discover starlog.com no longer exists on the web. Such a sad turn of events.
Well, if anybody wants to see some of my work drawn up fro Starlog from 1998 to 2007, feel free to go to: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=5762&id=100000528177831
