  Maccaroni is a well done magazine featuring photos of Rome subways
  (A, B, and Lido Lines) and F.S. Trains, along with regular walls and
  shots of the Metro.  The photos are plentiful but too small.
   The issue included photos from the Rome Subway

  along with trains in Italy and abroad.   Discount rates for

  This magazine covers all aspects of the
  hip-hop scene. The 75% of the magazine not related to graffiti
  covers stuff about music and breakdancing.  Unfortunately, as far as
  the graffiti goes, you can find more or less the same stuff in
  14K. Unless you're a pro at German,

  The editors of this zine follow the more is better philosophy of
  displaying flicks. Every page is packed with high quality pieces,
  probably more so than any other zine out there. But what they gain
  in quantity they lose in the quality of the display -- the size of
  the photos obfuscates the pieces they're depicting.  There is a
  definite LA and California bent to the flicks, but many scenes are
  represented, as are a variety of artists.  Additionally, there are a
  lot of new faces featured that you don't see in other zines.

  Modern Hieroglyphics is a hip mag out of the Motor City. While most
  of the world has not heard much of the scene in Michigan, this
  magazine proves graff is alive and well. Even so, most of the graff
  is actually from NYC, LA and the other usual places. While there's
  certainly a lot of flicks, the actual quality of the pieces seems to
  vary more than one would really like, ranging from really amazing
  Giant pieces to some rather sophomoric attempts at graffiti.
  Hopefully the magazine will get more and more high-end pieces as it
  gains exposure to the national circuit.

   This French graff zine is quite nice, featuring an atypical
   structure that focuses more on the minds behind the graffiti and
   less on the graffiti itself.  The magazine is in full color,
   although it is not uncommon for flicks to be displayed in
   b&amp;w if the mood makes it appropriate.  The articles are
   quite good and hold the reader's attention effectively, while
   providing insight about the artists not found elsewhere.  The
   photos are a mixed bag, typically featuring Spain,
   France, England, Holland, and the United States.  The 
   layout and titling of photos could be better, however.

  The issue that this reviewer saw was quite old, but if they have
  made any improvements since then, they will be right up there among
  the heavy weights. Although it is just a
  photocopied zine, the content is so heavy that you want to get every
  issue you can. S4M features blackbook from the giants of the
  graffiti world, which is a nice break from the norm.

  on graffiti and a good sense of humor. While about half of the
  magazine is devoted to hip-hop grooves (which may or may not be of

  and extremely well varied. Expect to see NYC, Philly and California
  styles on a regular basis.

        _gz_desc_begin()
  On the Run has been reborn, and is now a magazine like none
  other. Breaking the pandemic "tons of flicks and a few articles"
  mold, On the Run has pioneered what the zine calls the <I>Blackbook
  Format</I>, which is based on two major ideas: feature one artist or
  crew per issue, and feature that artist or crew <I>large</I>.  This
  means that each issue chronicles an individual approach to graffiti,
  and permits the reader to examine and understand their essence
  through whole-page photographs.  As On the Run puts it, their
  "Blackbooks Volumes" is their effort "to make contemporary graff
  visible, and to make it possible to study the style of a single
  artist or crew - because the style lives in all pieces."  While On
  the Run appears quite expensive on the face of it, it is actually a
  bargain considering that it has no advertisements and wastes no
  space.  Simply put, it is one of the most original and impressive
  showcases of aerosol culture today.  To pick up an issue in the US,
  check out Tower Records, Xylene Mailorder, or 12 Ounce Prophet
  Mailorder.

  Rockin' Rails is a small photocopied b&amp;w all-trains zine.  The
  graffiti is solid and there is a good amount of graffiti per buck,
  but the images are grainy and obscure the pieces.  The zine should
  be improving dramatically over the next few issues, so stay tuned.

  Rolling Stock is a zine dedicated to the documentation and education
  of the freight scene nationwide. Along with many flicks of freight
  action coast to coast, there is hobo poetry and railroad lingo
  within. Send these guys a shout and get hip to the underground steel
  movement.

  Runnin' Da Show is a high-quality b&amp;w zine, featuring lots of
  great art from all around California.  Artists like Twist, Felon,
  and Giant are well represented, and the graphic layout is well done.
  The zine consists almost entirely of photos, which is the way graff
  should be.  Runnin' Da Show's biggest problem is that it's in black
  and white -- one can just imagine what some of the pieces would look
  like in living color!  However, for the price, Runnin' Da Show is a
  great deal.
