PDF subscriptions are also available: any 4 issues for $17.95, and any 8 for $32.95. Already have a subscription? We’ll sell you a PDF for just $2.95 - or just $9.95 for all four issues. Just order your PDF using the form below, and we’ll send you a unique link to download the complete magazine at your leisure. PDF versions of issues 11, 12 & 13 are already available. And we’re hard at work converting the rest of our back issues to bring you the entire Black Gate library.
