The problem with the UK is demographics: there's rarely enough people to support anything which doesn't have mass appeal, even with Alan Moore's name attached to it. Things are better in the US since the population is bigger so however small the percentage of population that comprise your audience, it's still more people than you'd have here. The mags of the 1960s had the advantage of being in tune with a whole generation that wanted them. Yes, I thought of Arthur when I first saw this. Coincidentally, the last time I saw Alan in person was in 2003 when Arthur ed. Jay Babcock, writer Steve Aylett and I made a day trip to Northampton. There's a possibility I may be doing something for a future issue of Dodgem Logic. Watch this space!

Bought this yesterday in Liverpool – found a comic shop by chance, wandered in and saw it staring at me.
It really is alot like a sixties/seventies underground publication.Its about time we had something like this that covers things outside of music.counterculture never dies, it just gets bigger or smaller depending on the times.
Is it too early to think of it as the British Arthur??

Yep, this looks fantastic. Among other things, there is a beautifully weird and disturbing Kevin O’ Neill cartoon that looks like Elder Gods mating (or something). I really have to get a copy as soon as possible…

I just picked up a few copies yesterday. One of things I’m particularly happy about is that the CD features Wurlitzer Junction by the Mystery Guests, which is one of those songs that turns up on Alan Moore’s bibliography as being written by him, but was probably presumed lost forever. As I’ve been slowly but surely accumulating a collection of his musical output, this is very exciting for me!
