Terrascopædia Volume 1 - 2012 to 2016
The first two issues were basically just me fiddling about and learning the craft, so in my mind Volume 1 didn't properly begin until issue 3. You could equally argue however that Volume 1 was a six issue volume (ie issues 1 through to 6). The cover art for 3, 4 5 and 6 was by Davina Ware, based on artwork originally created by her for use in the Ptolemaic Terrascope magazine.
