Past Issues

Obsidian is currently in the process of digitizing past issues dating to year 1986. Once we digitize the entire archive, we will make the past issues available to anyone on request by email and after receiving payment. Please see the bottom of this page for more information. In most of the cases, the issue will be emailed to you in .pdf format once we receive the payment and then the file can be downloaded to the computer or printed.
