==Issue 1==
Impact 1 was published in 1983 Though it was apparently planned for mid-to-late 1982, according to an explanation about the zine Enigma #6 at the back of the zine. This update (possibly typed long in advance) states that the "publication of [Enigma 6] has been delayed longer than even we thought possible. The original intention was to bring it out in late 1982, but now it looks as if the probable date will be March/April 1983.... The way things are going, it looks as if ENIGMA 7 will follow hard on the heels of ENIGMA 6." In the end, the publication date of "Enigma 6" was May 1982 and "Enigma 7" was October 1983. and contains 86 pages. The cover and three internal illustrations are by 'Miso-no-Tsuki/C. Casey.' There is one other piece of art by Roo. The zine was edited by Pamela Dale.
