From the Zine

Scattered cards, clippings, songs, poems, and sayings submitted by - Mary, Pat, Billie, Marian, Theresa, Donna, Denise, NoName, Edith & Amy, Syn, Robbie, Tabby, Chris, Kari, Mary Kay, Debbie, Connie and others. Many thanks to all of you.

This supplement is a compilation of stories, poems, artwork, cards, and jokes from readers inspired by the H/J series. There is one exception. The first vignette, "Spring Afternoon," by Billie Fowler was the inspiration for the H/J series. Like all Billie's stories it was written for herself alone. She never intended any of her fantasies and "what ifs" to be published, and only showed them to friends who asked for them. I asked her to share with you the the one which introduced me to the possibility of a loving relationship between Harry and Johnny, thus inspiring MAGNUM FORCE: DAVIS. Thank you, Billie.
