A counterculture pinback proclaiming "Out" in black lettering against a bright orange pinback.

Tolentino, Noel; Robson, Seth; Darby et al.

Bunnyhop. Old Age and Nostalgia. Issue Number 9

San Francisco, Bunnyhop Communications, 1998. Wraps. Small folio. Black and white illustrations throughout. Later issue of this zine providing a look at the "fluffier aspects of pop culture and alternative music." Despite the slick production and design, Bunnyhop was all zine. Created by Noel Tolentino and Seth Robson, Bunnyhop caused a bit of a kerfuffle when they used a character created by Matt Groening on the cover of their first issue. This issue focuses on nostalgia as relating to pop culture and consumerism. Of note is a lengthy interview with Gary Coleman, perhaps under the guise of nostalgia for old TV shows. VERY GOOD+ condition. Minor fading and edgewear, with a hint of soiling at the upper corner. Very Good .

Tosches, Nick

Slant. Issue Nine. Spring, 1997

Philadelphia, Urban Outfitters, 1997. Tabloid. Large format tabloid newspaper. 32 pp. Color art throughout. Last issue of this newspaper style work that sought to adopt a zine style look. Created by the retail clothing store, Urban Outfitters, the paper embraced an anti-consumerism consumerism tone, using the trendy 1990s jaded/ironic worldview to subtly scorn everything, while branding itself as alternative to the mainstream (as alternative as a multinational corporation can be). The zine/paper used noted comic artists and graphic designers for much of the work. This issue with a piece by Nick Tosches, among others. Art by Ward Sutton, etc. GOOD condition. Horizontal and vertical fold creases present, with some tearing at the intersection of the folds. General toning. Minor soiling. Minor chipping and tearing along the edges. Good .
