The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine

The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine was an authorized magazine published by Starlog Press, reporting on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Starlog's publishers, Terry O'Quinn and Norman Jacobs, launched the spin-off magazine in December 1987, shortly after the premiering of The Next Generation, partly in order to dampen the heavy Star Trek nature of its mother publication, Starlog magazine, being referenced as such on the magazine's cover. It provided summaries of current episodes, as well as interviews with production staff. Like the other Starlog Press publications, the magazine is notable for the reproduction of numerous behind-the-scenes photographs and production art work, rarely seen in other publications. But unlike its source production, the monthly Starlog magazine, publication was erratic and irregular.
