Owner's Description
When the movie Willow came out in theaters, I was a ravenous Sci-Fi and Fantasy geek. I was reading and/or watching anything in the genres I could get my hands on!
So Willow fell right into that category very nicely. I loved the movie, which it turns out also happened to be my first introduction to two different actors.
Val Kilmer, who would go on to play movie role after movie role for decades afterward, including some rather unfortunate Batman movies.
And also Warwick Davis, the lead in the movie, who I would later find out had been the guy wearing the Wicket Ewok costume in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi! He would later go on to play the leprechaun in the leprechaun movies and even in the Harry Potter movies as the character named Griphook.
With articles on Beetlejuice, Robocop, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Roger Rabbit, this issue was packed with tons of stuff I was interested in reading about! It happens to be the 12th anniversary issue of the magazine as well.
What's really amazing is that this very copy was bought straight off the shelf in 1988 and read through by a 15 year old, then stored in a box and moved around multiple times from spot to spot and house to house.
The idea that after all of that, it could somehow receive a 9.8 grade would be laughable.... if it wasn't completely true!
