  Unquestionably Denmark's premiere graffiti magazine, Magic Moments
  continues to amaze with issue 4.  With stunning dexterity, Magic
  Moments covers the whole graffiti scene, showcasing the best of the
  best in everything from tags to productions.  All of the pics are
  crisp, vibrant, and captioned, and carefully organized.  As if the
  photos alone weren't enough, expect to also find at least one or two
  in-depth articles, such as the 9 page interview with the legendary
  MOAS crew in issue 4.  Essentially, Magic Moments is the classic
  graffiti magazine, perfected.

  With its latest effort, Mass Appeal takes a leap forward, doubling
  its size, further enhancing its content, and in general putting
  together an extra-fine publication.  While Mass Appeal is planning
  to broaden its horizons in the future, today it's mostly about NYC
  with a few other locales tossed in for variety (for instance, some
  nice German steel was featured in this issue).  Although it probably
  goes without saying, you'll see some terrific styles here, shown in
  a clean, effective and exciting manner.  One area in which Mass
  Appeal has improved considerably is photo quality: expect top-notch
  photos presented loud, clear, and most importantly, _gz_strong(large).
  Also not to be overlooked is a solid collection of articles,
  reviews, and interview (the interview with REVS was worth the price
  of admission alone).	Lastly, Mass Appeal includes a high-quality
  mailorder section featuring zines, videos, supplies, and tees.
  Nice work.

  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 zine 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.

	_gz_issue_coverage(7 (Winter 1998),`Europe, United States')
	_gz_desc_begin()
  What can you say about Molotov Cocktail that hasn't already been
  said?	 Simply put, if you haven't seen this zine, you haven't seen
  how good a graffiti zine can get.  The finest blends of images and
  words available to the graffiti community. Molotov believes that
  graffiti is more about culture than art, and the result is a
  magazine of both style and substance -- and hovering around 60
  pages with almost no advertisements, Molotov will satisfy even the
  most voracious graffiti appetite.
	_gz_para
  First, Molotov is about substance, and it delivers bigtime:
  articles, interviews, poems, and expositions abound.	The interviews 
  are both engaging and educational.  The articles and expositions are
  unique and offbeat, and the presence of poetry speaks of a presence
  seldom seen the corporate graffiti machine: a heart.	What's more,
  all of it is available in both French and English.
	_gz_para
  Second, Molotov is about style: from bombing to productions, Molotov
  covers it all, and covers it in XXL portions.	 The pieces, while a
  bit small for self-study, are nonetheless of high-quality and
  presented in vast quantities.	 The focus on style doesn't stop with
  the artwork, however: pay special attention to Molotov's beautiful
  layout, which shows how the truly great layouts are those that
  manage to have style and still let the content speak. How can a zine
  get so many damn things right?  Molotov is sickeningly good.

  This is a well-done all black-and-white zine which looks like it was
  put together with a lot of love and care, but on a pretty tight
  budget.  By and large the pieces and photos are high quality, but a
  lot is lost in the grey-scale presentation, which takes a page that
  could be filled with vibrant colors and instead befuddles your eyes
  with tapestries of white and black. This reviewer would gladly pay
  more for a color version of this magazine.

  On the Run has been reborn, and is now a magazine like none

  mold, On the Run has pioneered what the zine calls the
  _gz_strong(Blackbook Format), which is based on two major ideas:
  feature one artist or crew per issue, and feature that artist or
  crew _gz_strong(large).  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

  Our Nation's Capital is a DC graffiti zine that wants to show

  the key element here is finding photos that fit the medium: Xeroxed
  affairs work best when they stick to documenting sharp, vivid,
  high-contrast graffiti (a good example of this is Giant's "Huffer"
  zine).  Here, while we find graffiti that works well in a
  photocopied setting, some of the graffiti becomes a massive jumble
  of gray.  It's missing the point of the zine to harp too much on
  this issue though; ONC is just as much about attitude as it is about
  pieces, as a scathing rebuttal to a Washington Post article
  demonstrates.	 The zine is currently interested in moving to a color

  the rest of Europe, and of course some from NYC as well.  Most of
  the flicks are in color, featuring various walls, trains, tags,
  characters and sketches.  Each issue also has two interviews, each
  with a page of the writer's pieces.  Overall, Overkill is nicely put
  together with good quality flicks.

  The only thing really unique about Paris Conexion is its locale.
  While there's nothing really wrong with the zine, there's nothing
  that makes it stand out either.  Paris Conexion is largely flicks,
  which is good for those of us not fluent in French.  The graffiti,
  which is disappointingly ho-hum at times, consists of mainly throws
  and pieces, mostly on trains.	 For those into destruction and train
  / vehicle bombing, Paris Conexion is worth it.  For everyone else,
  check it out first to see if you like it.

  Phantom, (changed from "Huffer" to avoid confusion with Giant's
  Huffer magazine), is put out by Bill's Wheels Skateshop in
  California.  Although perhaps a little top-heavy in productions (many
  of them from the skateshop's own walls), you won't notice until your
  jaw starts hurting.  Phantom features productions from everyone who's
  anyone in the Bay Area (and many who are just passing through),
  along with characters, pieces, and freights.	Although the amount of
  graffiti isn't excessive, almost every photo is worthy of detailed
  study and will leave you itching to get your hands on some paint.
  The presentation is effective, the colors are dazzling and the
  overall production quality is excellent.  In addition to the
  artwork, each issue features a short interview or two.  Recommended
  reading for anyone into the future of graffiti.

  Plaid Rabbit is a nice handmade zine that combines graffiti, poetry,
  and social commentary.  Plaid Rabbit does not restrict itself to the
  aerosol culture, but there is a fair amount of graffiti-related
  content here via articles and introspectives.	 Though not really
  about photos (this is a Xeroxed affair after all), you'll still find
  some good high-contrast graffiti throughout.	Plaid Rabbit is
  assembled by a female writer and the zine as a whole works hard to
  promote and showcase other females involved in the scene, which is a
  welcome change of pace.  If you're looking for something a bit more
  thought-provoking and personal than the traditional graffiti
  swank-mag, check out Plaid Rabbit.

  It's always exciting to catch a glimpse of a new graffiti scene,
  especially when the zine bringing the action has their act together.
  Though Pressure Expansion Valve is already on their third issue,
  this is in many respects a second coming for the zine, which has
  made the switch from newsprint to glossy color and along the way
  become the first color graffiti publication out of Greece.  Stocked
  with footage of this evolving scene, Pressure Expansion Valve uses a
  simple layout, few words, and some cute humor to showcase three
  years of Greek graffiti.  Now we'll just have to see if the scene
  can keep up with the zine :-)

  Quiet Riot is a simple, flicks-only zine out of Germany that does a
  nice job presenting its scene.  Quiet Riot focuses on pieces,
  especially on steel, though there are also a few pages devoted to
  throws as well.  Though the graffiti is of high quality, many of the
  photos are too small, making the graffiti harder to appreciate.  The
  layout, which was done by hand (rather than computer), is energetic
  and at times downright frenetic, though it does not feel out of
  place given the zine's name.	A good time, but it may make you
  dizzy.

  Red Eye Magazine is a free, local, socially and politically
  responsible hip-hop magazine, produced for and by the community. Our
  goals are to shed light on the local scene, provide a forum for
  discussion on a variety of issues affecting our lives, and to help
  people improve their lives through their involvement in the hip-hop
  culture.
  _gz_para
  This magazine is highly unique for several reasons. Unlike most
  magazines that claim to be about hip-hop, but focus mostly on
  commercial MC's, Red Eye is about celebrating the entire spectrum of
  our culture: MC's, DJ's, graff writers, poets, record labels, political
  activists, producers, clothing companies -- anyone or anything that
  dares to make a statement by putting out their work. And most
  importantly, we're bringing it to you in their own words --  no
  interviews, no reviews -- we let people speak for themselves.
  _gz_para
  Most importantly, this magazine is designed to expand your mind. We
  all have dreams and fears, hardships and successes, and we all have
  opinions on the state of our community and the world around us. The
  problem is, lots of stuff that people think about doesn't get
  discussed often enough -- racism, religion, family -- and as a result,
  we bottle up our feelings and emotions. Whether you hate or relate
  to the shit you'll see here, it will make you think -- something we as
  a community don't do enough of. We'll also have articles and
  information on important events going on nearby -- shows, volunteer
  opportunities, protests and marches, important legislation -- so you
  can be an active part in the evolution of our culture and community.

  Rejected Medium is a very nice black-and-white publication with a
  solid collection of graffiti from some very well known names like
  Felon, Twist, Cycle, Virus and Erni to name a few.  Expect largely
  large pieces and productions, but there is also an ample freight
  section and some bombing action.  Unfortunately, for a zine which
  features nothing but photos, the lack of color limits the
  presentation and thus the reader's overall enjoyment.	 Still,
  those who are fans of classic North American graffiti won't be
  disappointed.

  Report is zine featuring the huge European movement, focusing almost
  exclusively on illegal trains.  The zine itself is terrific, with an
  original layout, good use of color, and thick, glossy stock.
  However, the graffiti is surprisingly mediocre, given the European
  skills showcased in zines such as Style Wars.	 Additionally, the
  quality of the flicks themselves has an astronomical standard
  deviation and the interviews and articles would benefit from a
  proofread.  Still, there's a lot of promise here.

  Most zines rely on reader submissions for their content, which means
  it is often difficult to figure out who's really getting up and
  who's just generating hype.  This little zine solves this problem by
  actually going down to the yards themselves and snapping flicks of
  what's actually running through the system in Denver, Colorado.
  What we see is a nice collection of classic freight graffiti from
  all over the continent, including some older stuff from
  underappreciated writers like Ryze and Dove.	Along with the photos,
  this issue featured an interview with Sug and a short piece on hobo
  graffiti.  Agreeable.

  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.
