Apology

"We at White Wolf Magazine would like to extend special thanks to all those people who have waited so patiently for us to complete this first color issue. To all of those who purchased subscriptions as long ago as May '87 and to those who were midway through their subscriptions and expected to see an issue in June '87 we say thanks. A lot of hard work has gone into seeing this issue through print and we hope that you feel it was worth the wait. There are still several improvements to be made and we would like to have each and every one of you around for the duration. Enjoy and have fun." - The Publishers
