funny you should ask that question...as I was cleaning the shelfs of my library..and came across several of his Avengers books....AS everyone knows, he was one of the main sources for the Show, in the pre-to-early internet era..and has written several others books on star wars, the prisoner, and vintage guitars, etc...as far as I know, he's still alive..and no doubt, still writing..and many of his books are still in print....and available thru amazon, etc...cyberrich wrote:Does anyone know what happened to Dave Rogers? Is he still OK? Back in the 1980's he almost single-handedly kept The Avengers alive in the land of fandom. I've got all of his books, and The Ultimate Avengers is maybe the best one. His fanzine (On target/ Stay tuned) is also excellent. I've got every issue from 1983-1999. A shame Dave stopped doing it. Nothing has taken it's place.
I've got most of the issues of Stay Tuned/On Target, you're right, it's superb and lots of the information was new to me. Great nostalgia to read them now. Heady days when the show wasn't easy to see, and fans had to share all the facts and news we could on paper!cyberrich wrote:Does anyone know what happened to Dave Rogers? Is he still OK?

Franky, exactly...gosh, it was a real chore in the early days of the internet..when Netscape ruled the roost...and info was spotty.....and there was nothing like Google or Wiki....Frankymole wrote:I've got most of the issues of Stay Tuned/On Target, you're right, it's superb and lots of the information was new to me.

He was on the bill with quite a few famous artists including The Beatles, The Everly Brothers etc. But success in the music industry evaded him.
