Grip is a gen multimedia anthology of fiction, art, poetry, and commentary edited by Roberta Rogow.
There were 51 issues published.
The series had an emphasis on Star Trek and Star Wars.
Rogow created this zine series to encourage and highlight fans who did not have a lot of previous experience creating fanworks.
Rogow was very out-spoken in her her mission to keep "Grip's" material G, or mildly PG, rated, and the title, "Grip," was a poke at Grup, a sexually explicit Trek zine. 
Some regular features were the editorial ("The Editor Shoots Her Mouth Off"), fanzine ads ("Backscratching Department"), and letters of comment ("Air-LoC"), the last two spelled a variety of ways.
==Issue 11==
Grip 11 was published in November 1981 and is 60 pages long. The art is by Nancy Duncan, Gennie Summers, Elaine Tripp, Mike Worley, Melody Rondeau, Dot Sasscer, Michael B. Smith, Lynn Eldridge, Richard Pollet, Leah Rosenthal, and Carol Salemi.
It includes three Star Wars/Prisoners crossover stories, a long Federation Klingon love story, and an article on Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The editor is glad to have a new typist who is "donating a lot of time and her IBM Selectric Typewriter to GRIP. I think the results are ultimately satisfying...readers don't have to decypher [sic] my typos and I don't have to pound the typewriter all day and night!And the variety of typefaces makes for an interesting 'zine."
