Desperately seeking former spy fanzine publisher

…Well, not desperately. But definitely seeking information on these “Top Secret” magazines, of which I have three issues, soon to be four after this recent eBay purchase goes through:

Top Secret Magazines

Names included in the editorial page credits include (hoping for some self-Googling here):

  • David Caruba, editor
  • Brandon Twine, managing editor
  • Paul Haber, assistant editor
  • Harold Behar Jr., art and design
  • Robert Caruba Jr., business manager
  • Quentin Foote, publicity
  • Scott Williamson, art coordinator

The magazine was published from August 1985-July 1986 out of Maplewood, NJ by Caruba Enterprises. They’re an interesting look at spy-fi fandom in the mid-80s, in between the heyday of the 60s and the revival of Bond popularity in the 90s, with a number of quality interviews, articles and appreciations.
