Now the ex-magazine that used to be DWB, yes. It disappeared off the scene a few years back, which is a shame, because it was pretty good. No idea what happened - I'm assuming sales dropped or something. TV Zone went the same way, too, and Cult Times, I think.

It was a bit weird, DW and TV Zone/Cult Times/can't remember the company's other titles disappeared, but it isn't as if there wasn't a market out there and there are still mags out there now.

Yes, it was a bit odd that they suddenly disappeared after being fairly successful for some years. I suspect TV Zone and the others fell victim to a takeover of the group that owned them, and they were deemed unnecessary. Bit of a shame - I used to buy Dreamwatch and TV Zone quite often, especially as they tended to be more focused on British SF stuff.

Same here, hence why I have these magazines to post from. I think mine date back to at least 1994-5 ;) If not before.
