Destroy All Monsters magazine

Facsimile edition of Destroy All Monsters Magazine including remnants of the "lost" seventh issue, which was never released. This limited edition facsimile is comprised of the publication signed by the collective's original members: Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, Niagara, and Jim Shaw. Also included is an 8x10 silver print by Cary Loren and a small glycine baggie of dirt from God's Oasis--the commune Mike Kelley and Jim Shaw lived in from 1974 to 1976 and which served as the collective's musical practice space. "Destroy All Monsters Magazine was edited by Cary Loren and contained artwork, photographs, and flyers from band mates Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, Niagara, and Jim Shaw. Printed using any papers and techniques available to the band, the issues combine the cut and paste tactics of punk zines with a psychedelic affinity for color. Destroy All Monsters Magazine functions as a kind of manifesto, providing insight into the band through densely layered pages with movie imagery, kitsch, cartoons, delicate drawings, and counter-culture collages"--James Hoff and Miriam Katzeff.
