Zebra Three (Starsky & Hutch zine)

Zebra Three is a gen Starsky and Hutch anthology. It is the first Starsky and Hutch fanzine published, issued while the show was still on the air.
An ad in the first issue of Scuttlebutt asked for submissions and referred to it as a: "STARSKY-HUTCH zine tentatively called Zebra 3."
In addition to fan fiction, the zines had extensive artwork, poetry and cartoons. A gallery of some of the interior artwork is below.
From "Closing Notes" in the first issue: 
In another issue regarding submissions, the editor stated: "I would prefer not to receive death stories specifically concerning S&H, alternate universe S&H, or stories of a homosexual nature."
==Changing Zine Landscapes==
By 1992, the choices in reading material in this fandom, as well as others, had become so varied that an ad in Zine Scene had point out: "If you like "straight" STARSKY & HUTCH stories, then ZEBRA THREE is the place to be!"
