==Issue 2==
Contact Christmas 2 (archived here) contains 242 pages. 
The date on the zine (November 1987) has been crossed out and March 1988 written in its place. The zine contains an errata that apologizes for it being late, and it is likely the two dates reflect this.
The cover art is by Merle Decker. The other artists are noted below.
