Ben is Dead Issue #13. May, 1991
No Place: Darby, Publisher, 1991. Wraps. Good. Item #020853
No place (Los Angeles): 1991. Side stapled zine, more of a traditional magazine format. 8 ½ by 11 inches. 56 pp. Illustrations throughout. Issue 13 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). Along with the usual music/band reviews and interviews, this issue has the Ben Encyclopedia of "Broke," offering an A-Z guide of tips, scams and techniques for those with limited means. GOOD condition. General toning and fading. Minor wrinkling and creasing. Small stain to the upper rear cover.
