From 1982 to 2001, TAGSRWC fired 53 issues of The Bullet, predecessor to our follow-up newsletters The Pocket, which was still on paper, and The eBullet, which is now our online newsletter. There were 51 scheduled issues and two special editions of The Bullet.
At least 30 of those vintage Bullet shots are still available as part of a "Set" of back issues.
You're guaranteed to receive at least 30 back issues of The Bullet and at least 10 back issues of The Pocket in your Set.
The back issues of The Bullet are filled with photos, in-depth profiles and news about many of the show's cast and crew, trivia, puzzles, "Professor Brower's Class" columns, recipes, cartoons, news from chapters and detailed reports about various cast reunions and other events.
