ReVisions (multimedia and Star Wars zine)

ReVisions is a gen multifandom anthology. The first issue was Star Trek and SF, but it eventually became a zine with a Star Wars focus, and it is a sort-of sister zine to Twin Suns.
Some of the contributors were members of the Wright State Trek Club and the Dayton Science Fiction Group.
All issues were out-of-print by 1981 but "available in photocopy form from T'Kuhtian Press" in an ad in Jundland Wastes #5/6. 
Art has been included on Fanlore with the publisher's permission.
==Issue 1==
ReVisions 1 was published in February 1978 and contains 75 pages. 
 
The art is by Lisa Mason, Rick Knobloch, Marilyn Mix, Pat Stanley, Joe Fleming, David Taylor, Robin Wood, Suzanne Kirwan, Linda Stoops, and Rusty Westbeld.
From an ad in Scuttlebutt #3: "A new zine by a new fan, shares poetry, illos, humor in a unique relationship of Treklore and SF."

ReVisions 3 was published in August 1979 and is 135 pages long. 
Due to various difficulties, both personal and related to the "Post Awful", "there were to be two versions of this 'zine, one with six illos for "The Price of Allegiance" and one with two. It's a long story..." This, however, did not come to be. In the fourth issue, the editor said the art never arrived.
Jani Hicks joins the two very young editors for this issue: "It's all their fault, you know. here I was, a screaming neofen, a twenty-eight year old refugee from a baccalaureate degree, accosted by these two HALFFLINGS (do two halflings make a wholeling?) and asked if I'd like to help put out a 'zine. Now, next May I'll have my own (HYPE, HYPE). Oy, gevaldt!"
The art is by Angela-Marie Varesano, Helen Brunoette, Pat Stanley, Linda Stoops, Larry Terres, Martynn, Jani Hicks, Jane Rafferty, Allyson Whitfield, and Lisa Mason.
