Shorts: Questor Magazine Volume 5: History, Price Drop and Revival
This would probably be the third article about Questor magazine on this website, and you know what? I’m okay with it because we’re going to talk about Volume 5.
What’s so special about Volume 5, you ask? For starters, the price dropped from Php. 200.00 to just Php. 120.00. This could be seen as a cost-cutting measure because the Internet was rapidly becoming popular in the Philippines. According to some rumors on the Internet, Questor was put on hiatus in 2003, right around Volume 4. The magazine was then revived for the third time in 2005 and then was sold to ABS-CBN Publishing right around February or March of that year, with the first issue under the new owners being a feature on Cardcaptor Sakura.
Another thing that was different between the two runs was that there were more non-anime-related ads on the ABS-CBN issues than the Telesuccess ones. Well, there’s also that focus on live-action media reviews, but that came with the change of the times.
Will probably scan these during the Christmas break or whatever. That’ll be all for now.
