Horizon 23, cover by Nick Spender.  Published 2002.

For the longest time, I wasn’t sure this even existed.  Most lists of the Horizon fanzine stop at issue 22.  When this popped up with no photo on eBay, I thought the odds were good that it was a mis-listing (either the wrong issue number given, or issue #23 of the Horizon Magazine.)  But as you can see, it’s real.

Horizon is one of the most highly regarded of the Blake’s 7 fanzines.  Produced in Britain, most issues are digest-sized and professionally printed, with good-quality gen fanfic.  #23 has four stories: Mitri by Marion Edwards, Swansong by Harriet Bazley, A Perfect Balance by Marian de Haan, and Regeneration by Marion Edwards.

Horizon in general is worth getting.  Some of the stories are meh, of course (tastes vary from fan to fan), but it’s usually not terrible.  Probably the only thing to watch out for is the fact that the earlier, A4 sized issues tend to have fading, making reading an exercise in eyestrain.

Bless every fan who stops and makes a scan of something old and beloved.
