Synopsis

Chris Ulm recounts the story of Rune's creation by himself and Barry Windsor-Smith. A picture of Rune appears with the text.

Notes

Price is stated only in indicia, and this issue was not for sale on its own. It was a free supplement with an issue of Spin Magazine. Indicia also states "Published monthly", although this was a one-shot.

It's likely someone at Malibu pasted an indicia from a regular Rune issue and forgot to make some of the changes, which is why it has an indicia frequency and prices for an issue that was provided free.
