Starlog was a monthly print magazine devoted to science fiction film and television and was conceived in 1976 by Norman Jacobs and Kerry O’Quinn. David Houston, who came up with the concept with O’Quinn, became an editor for the magazine as well as a contributor with numerous articles and interviews. Originally published under the imprint “O’Quin Studios, Inc.”, it was later accommodated in “Starlog Press” as the founders started to bring more and other genre publications into the mix, starting in 1979 with the horror/fantasy orientated magazine Fangoria. According to the web-master of The Starlog Project, their original intent was to put out a one-shot magazine covering Star Trek: The Original Series. On the urging of their distributor the magazine was enhanced with articles about other genre productions to make it more appealing to a broader general public. Still, its first issue, dated August 1976, did feature The Original Series on its cover and over the years the magazine remained Star Trek heavy with frequently published Star Trek-related articles, features and interviews. Given the founder’s original intention and the fact that it was launched shortly before its conception, coverage of Star Trek: The Motion Picture was particularly heavy.
