Well, Gordon would be pleased to hear that.
It certainly were the last quality Zzap!64 issues before the rot definitely set in.
Gordon's site says about Maff Evans:
He never replied to e-mails about the DEF Tribute anyway.

I don't know what he's doing at the moment, though.Culled in the 'Night of the Long Knives', Maff enjoyed a brief spell as a wildebeast before turning his hooves to writing music articles and reviews for Future.
He never replied to e-mails about the DEF Tribute anyway.
Once again I emerge from beneath a massive pile of paper which makes my desk groan to bring you the world’s most amazing posts.

He sent me a CD-R of a few remixes he had done for Front 242, a few years back. That was the last I heard of him.

Gary Liddon = Patrick Troughton (Bit of a clown)
Julian Rignall = Tom Baker (Worked for Newsfield for ages, weird hair)
Paul Sumner = The Master (whose body would he have next?!)
Gordon Houghton = Colin Baker (Cruelly sacked at short notice)
Steve Jarrat = Peter Davison (Young Action man!)

I think that's true (well, apart from Doctor Who, seeing as I actually think Eccelston is my favourite, oddly enough): Penn and Rignall were the height of Zzap!, closely followed by a certain Mr. Houghton, Ms. Hamza and Mr. Glancey. Everything else was downhill, although I had a soft spot for Robin Hogg's writing, as I also occasionally read The Games Machine before Robin ended up on Zzap!Mangram's Tippex Thinner wrote:It's down to the staff when you first got into the mag, I reckon (like fave Doc on Doctor Who), so my fave was from the start up till Gary Penn's departure.

I think the reason i liked the mag so much was because of the way the staff didnt 'talk down' to you, it influenced me alot, i even wrote in some school thing that Maff Eavans was one of my hereo's (how sad!) but nobody knew who he was.
i remember reading a freinds older brothers collection of older zzaps (JR) and they were still just as good.

This topic was getting WAAaaaayyy off topic, so I've split it and moved the Doctor Who stuff to here http://www.zzap64.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=542
It was probably Mr ZzapBack's fault anyway
