Droid & Tribble

Droid & Tribble is a multimedia newsletter of reviews, trivia and opinions about Star Trek, Star Wars, Space: 1999, Logan's Run, Quark, Man from Atlantis, Charlie's Angels, Fantasy Island, etc. The publisher describes it as "offbeat." Each issue was about ten pages, and it was published every six weeks. 
There were at least ten issues.
The "price is only 50¢ + 1 stamp..."
Starting with issue #3, the title changed to "Android & Tribble," (on cover), occasionally "(An)Droid & Tribble" (interior references). 
On the cover: "Suum Cuique," which is Latin for "to each his own; to each what rightfully belongs to him."
From the first issue:

* My, My, Maya, Maya ("Any guesses why the name "Maya" was chosen? For those who think there is a subtle tie to the MesoAraerican culture in the Yucatan, we think you're wrong. In fact, the term is used to describe an aspect of the Hindu religion. According to Ninian Smart in the Religion? Experience of Mankind, maya is a "word suggesting divine creative magic," Obviously, some one at Space 1999 did his homework. Or is it just coincidence?") (5)
