Aktivität history

A brief introduction to the paper-based copies of the fanzine that were produced between 1992 and 1998.

2002 - Aktivität fanzine's 10th anniversary!

Before setting up these webpages, Aktivität was originally published as a paper-based fanzine between January 1992 and April 1998. The majority of the articles that are featured in the Archive section of the website are updated versions of those that originally appeared in the pages of the fanzines. 2002 marks the tenth year of publication for Aktivität - originally on paper, now on the Web.

To mark this anniversary, I present here more details about the original publications, for those readers who either were not aware of the fanzine or only read one or two copies. The fanzine was published in A5 size format. Most of the editions featured full colour photocopied covers with black and white on the inside (except issue 9, which also included colour centre pages). This page shows miniatures of the original cover designs for most of the editions. There were also some limited edition mini-issue 'specials', details of these are at the bottom of the page. Click on any of the cover images to launch a new page listing the contents of that issue.

Additional notes:

Aktivität Issue 1B
November 1992
Issue 1B was a revised, expanded edition of the original issue 1, with extra pages, better printing quality and additional information added. The front cover design was identical to the original issue but a new back cover graphic was added.

Aktivität 2:
Later copies of Issue 2 were printed with a second cover design - this was due to damage of the original artwork. This second design variant was later modified and used for the Retro One compilation issue.

Aktivität Retro One:
April 1994
This was a compilation issue featuring a selection of articles that had originally appeared in issues 1, 2 and 3, which had all been discontinued. Some of the articles were updated to eliminate inaccuracies/mistakes and include additional info.
