Mobile Ghettos

Mobile Ghettos is a slash multimedia fanzine and was published in Canada.
It was one of the early multimedia slash zines published. Warped Space #18 published in 1976 contained a single MUNCLE story. Warped Space remained wholly Star Trek until Issue #28 in 1977 when it began including more Star Wars content and eventually other fandoms
==Origin of the Title==
The title comes from an exchange in The Professionals episode "Killer With A Long Arm":
:Doyle: Don't knock it. Ghetto means, um, being able to depend on your own kind.
:Bodie: So, you and me are a mobile ghetto, eh?
