Ben is Dead Issue #4. April Fools, 1989
No place: Darby, Publisher, 1989. Wraps. Good. Item #019503
No place (Los Angeles): 1989. Side stapled zine, more of a traditional magazine format. 8 ½ by 11 inches. 32 pp. Illustrations throughout. Issue four of Darby's long running zine, Ben is Dead. As Darby notes, she started the zine as a "forum and an escape," eventually using it as a vehicle to explore the world and a variety of experiences. While earlier issues tended to cover punk music and the punk scene, the zine eventually grew to cover a range of women's experiences and pop culture in general. (Green [editor] p. 70) Mostly devoted to reviewing the plethora of punk shows in the LA area, as well as having interviews with Bulimia Banquet, Chemical People, and Keith Morris of the Circle Jerks. GOOD condition. General toning. Heavy offsetting along the edges.
