An excellent 'best of'
An excellent 'best of'. If you were into this scene it's a superb reminder of the fun and frolics of the Mid- late 1970s and if you were not, it's a great piece of social/music/fanzine/ history. John Holmstrom and the founders of PUNK magazine did a great job then and Holmstrom has done a great job in capturing the heart and soul of this seminal and influential mag. Go buy and give yourself a treat.

A beautifully presented (& very reasonably priced) collection but
A beautifully presented (& very reasonably priced) collection but, like most other readers I imagine, I would've been happy to pay extra for a COMPLETE anthology - there are too many interesting-looking interviews & articles that appear to have been omitted. But it's a terrific read, & a fascinating time capsule, nonetheless.

PUNK MAGAZINE REVIEW
I bought this for my son who is a huge fan of the Ramones. He thought it a good purchase and liked the format. The pictures and information was different to that in a normal book form, so a a good addition to his collection.

The MOLLE sheath is of exceptional quality. Very happy with my purchase.
Launched in 1976, Punk magazine announced an exploding youth movement, a new direction in American counterculture. Punk was to magazines what the stage at CBGB was to music: the gritty, live-wired, throbbing center of the punk universe. Despite its low-rent origins, the mag was an overnight success in the underground music scene, selling out every print run across the US and UK. Every musician who appeared on the cover of Punk became an icon of the era. But Punk not only championed music, it became a launching pad for writers, artists, cartoonists, and graphic designers. And the wacky, sardonic, slapstick vibe of the magazine resonated with an international army of music fanatics who were ready to burn their bell bottoms and stage-dive into the punk universe.
The Best of Punk Magazine collects the best of these pages into the ultimate, must-have anthology:
Interviews with the Ramones, Sex Pistols, John Cale and Brian Eno
Photos by Roberta Bayley David Godlis, and Bob Gruen
Cartoons by R. Crumb, Bobby London, and John Holmstrom
The articles that formed the groundwork for Please Kill Me, the legendary oral history of punk by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain
Two \"graphic novels\"—The Legend of Nick Detroit and Mutant Monster Beach Party—told through photographs featuring Debbie Harry, Joey Ramone, Richard Hell, Andy Warhol, Peter Wolf, and David Johansen
The Best of Punk Magazine is a must-have for people who love punk rock music, comics, fanzines, Blondie, the Ramones, Lou Reed, the Velvet Underground, the Sex Pistols, and the legendary CBGB scene.
About the Author
John Holmstrom is a cartoonist and writer and co-founder (with Legs McNeil) of Punk magazine. He illustrated the covers of the Ramones albums Rocket to Russia and Road to Ruin, and created the characters Bosko and Joe, which were published in Scholastic's Bananas magazine from 1975-1984, as well as in Stop! Magazine, Comical Funnies, Twist, and High Times. Holmstrom's work and unmistakable artistic style has become the key visual representation of the Punk era.
