Fantasy Empire (80s fanzine) query/Dennis Spooner

[Dene]

Hello - anyone able to help with this one...?

I'm getting confused over a (largely Doctor Who-oriented) US fanzine named "Fantasy Empire".

My confusion is because there seems to be both "Fantasy Empire" and "Fantasy Empire Collector's Edition".

Issue 4 of the latter has a Dennis Spooner interview (and a Lalla Ward interview) which apparently contains much on The Avengers - mentioned here: http://deadline.theavengers.tv/1984.htm.

HOWEVER - Issue 4 of the former also has Dennis Spooner and Lalla Ward mentioned on the front cover. Is the content of both of these the same..?

Thanks if anyone knows.

I don't have both to hand but - basically - "Fantasy Empire Collector's Editions" were generally straight reprints of articles from "Fantasy Empire" as I recall. It's a rather nice interview by John Peel. Lovely man!

All the best
