Grip is a gen multimedia anthology of fiction, art, poetry, and commentary edited by Roberta Rogow.
There were 51 issues published.
The series had an emphasis on Star Trek and Star Wars.
Rogow created this zine series to encourage and highlight fans who did not have a lot of previous experience creating fanworks.
Rogow was very out-spoken in her her mission to keep "Grip's" material G, or mildly PG, rated, and the title, "Grip," was a poke at Grup, a sexually explicit Trek zine. 
Some regular features were the editorial ("The Editor Shoots Her Mouth Off"), fanzine ads ("Backscratching Department"), and letters of comment ("Air-LoC"), the last two spelled a variety of ways.
