It’s difficult to believe that when I started my New Warriors page back on Geocities, then created an eGroup (which eventually became Yahoo Groups) which was full of New Warriors fans and a very active list that I’d never got a copy of these wonderful fanzines called Crashpad Chronicles: The Unofficial New Warriors Newsletter. As it turns out the fanzine was born out of – and this should date us all – an AOL (that’s America Online, google it you young kids who don’t know what that was!) message board!
Well, thanks to social media (and the New Warriors Facebook Group I created), Kurt Onstad mentioned it – and scanned the first issue (with plans to scan the others he has). I got the OK from Jeff Hidek to put these on the site.
Jeff Hidek and Jon Rizzo were the main editors. Cami Benham contributed to the first issue.
Special thanks to Mike Carroll for getting me issues 2 and 3, as well as a blank crossword from the previous issue. Please check out his website and his blog.
