This issue shipped in 1987 and was largely a stylistic evolution with minor visual improvements learned during refinement of the production process. Each issue was now slightly easier to put together, but still not easy enough to allow me to focus on substantially improving the content as I desired. Thankfully, by now Mike Mikesh and Jeff Swycaffer were regular contributors, but more would be needed to ease the growing pains.
