Magazine: Fluke Magazine nbr 23

Description

Fluke is a long-running, independent zine founded by Matthew Thompson in 1991. Championing a raw, DIY ethos, it delves deep into subcultures like punk rock, skateboarding, train-hopping, and mail art. The publication serves as an unfiltered, highly curated artifact of underground print culture. The zine is known for being meticulously researched and packed with rich content. Individual issues often focus on deep-dive themes or specific subcultures.

Fluke 23: From The Ground Down marks the 35th anniversary of this fanzine, established in the summer of 1991 by three friends in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

Welcome to the underground as we explore various movements, lifestyles and interests, including Bay Area Dada, experimental film, (literal) street art, poetry, comix, hobo monikers, train hopping, mail chess, photography, punk rock and more. Join us as we navigate beneath the surface, removed from the monotony of the mainstream!

This issue includes legends of the underground: Bibbe Hansen, Exene Cervenka, Tav Falco, John Held, Craig Baldwin, Bill Daniel, Lydia Fong, House of Hades, NXOEED, Jessica Manack, Subhumans, Michael Hyatt, Jessica Mills, Dale Johnson, Crom, Bobby Madness and more!
