The latest zine to make waves this summer is Goblin issue 3, packed with ‘the best in town’ (as advertised) by a mysterious unknown zinester supreme, with each issue hand coloured by his younger brother. In one word: goblicious. The weapons catalogue section includes Crabs In Ya Pants, Swords of Manliness, and Crystal Imbedded Grenades; there are coupon sections, comics, cut-out song lyrics (‘my brother is small / not very tall / with his hands / on the wall’) and a joke section where the joke…is on you. **Postmodernism never had it so good. In gob news, read about how goblin men are "going into (illegible) of changes and coming out as women (but are they not as they were when they were men?)" Order your crazy kool Stealth Slider Shoes, your Tree Hat and your Shorts of Terror while stocks last. How about a pair of Wolverine Impersonator Gloves while you’re at it? Sure, it makes typing a bit tricky but, as this reader can attest, it’s worth the extra effort.
