Incredibly Hot Sex with Hideous People: The Book of the Zine

With the greatest title ever -- which has nothing to do with the book's content -- this is a greatest-hits collection from New Zealand artist/musician Bryce Galloway's awesome, rough-edged fanzine. Over a decade of publishing, the zine served as Galloway's personal graphic diary along with many of his very funny friends, chronicling his journey (and his horror thereof) from slacker, to adult art student, to father and homeowner. New Zealand's progressive alternative music scene intersects in so many ways with the country's contemporary art community. Resembling early blogs or the beginnings of Facebook, this engrossing book shows how the younger generation began to communicate in an underground, non-branded modality.
