EOD Issue 2

May, 1991
Edited & Published by Chris A. Masters

A5, 60 pp., saddle-stapled, card cover.


By the time, I was ready to start work on EOD #2 I had learned a lot from the mistakes I made with EOD #1.

I had just bought a new 24-pin Epson LQ400 dot matrix printer, which was a pretty big deal in those days. By printing and pasting up, the master copy on A4 sheets and then reducing it to A5 on the photocopier when I printed it up greatly improved the quality and look of the text. For the cover I used the same grey card stock that I used in the first issue.

Even though I got a few more submissions I was still printing everything I got and still had to write a couple of filler pieces and put in a couple of full-page ads to fill the magazine out. The artwork in EOD #2 was also original. Rod Williams and John Tipper were a huge help in providing much-needed artwork.

The original print-run was 100 copies, which I printed on the photocopier at my work, as well as another 50 copies of EOD #1.

Even though EOD #2 was a big improvement on the first, issue it still looks pretty amateurish to me. Then again, I did get two issues out within two months of each other. No one had ever done that before with an Australian horror magazine.
