Outlands (multimedia zine)

Outlands (subtitled: "A Cosmic Anthology") is a gen (there is a slash story in issue #3) multimedia fanzine. It has the subtitle, "A Cosmic Anthology." It is digest-sized, and the font is very small. 
These zines were "published and edited and illustrated by Barbara-Fister Liltz," and "prepared by Judith Boguslawski for Pandora Publications."
The front covers were identical but for the volume number. The back covers were all identical.
