Starlog magazine was launched in 1976. Although the focus was Star Trek, it also covered Space: 1999 in many early issues. One of the most common fan terms, MUF (Mysterious Unknown Force), was coined by editor David Houston in a Starlog article describing the changes from Year 1 to Year 2. Editor David Hirsch was a Space: 1999 fan, and edited a monthly column by Gerry Anderson. The magazine also brought model maker Martin Bower to the world's attention.
