ISSUES and COVERS 17 - 24

Alpha Control has for sometime carried no price tag. It is still posted out to members although occasionally it is distributed at LISA Conventions. The Table of Contents still appears on the second page but there are some alterations. Bob May and Dick Tufeld write for the magazine but for the most part they appear in 'The Letters to the Editor' section before moving to being regular features. Also as the issues numbers declined (cost of production, time constraints etc.) from four to two a year the dates on the cover of the magazine and those inside do not match. Features such as the LISA Crossword appear irregularly. As well as the regular Issues there are some double issues. As with other issues much of the Artwork featured in the Alpha Control can be viewed in then Artwork Section of the LISA site.
