The Poser

From '79 on, Neil Anderson created this UK photozine (in the truest sense) to document what has turned out to be some of the best bands of London's first wave punk and post-punk scene. While it's a music zine, it is full of meta commentary on how to take photos, setup a darkroom, etc. that epitomize the democratic attitude of a DIY scene. Published by Better Badges with a striking high-contrast black/white - with deep black inks - although some pages are accented with spot color. An essential publication, really.

Note: issues #2 and #4 have original price tags on cover. Condition otherwise excellent. Photographed in bags - so that visual wrinkle is plastic - and zines are fantastic.
