Dodgem Logic #3
Dodgem Logic No. 3
Edited by Alan Moore, with a wraparound cover by Alan Moore as well!
While the popular primates that we promised you last issue have receded back into the mist, we’ve tried hard to alleviate your sense of cheated rage and disappointment by enlisting laugh-along Luddites-for-Literature supremo Robin Ince to smooth the gentle gradient of your furrowed brow. We also tracked down Josie Long through credit-card transactions in her brave but ultimately doomed Shawshank Redemption bid for freedom, so she’s back with us and doing what she likes best, if that’s being handcuffed to a radiator. As for the thick wedge of extra pages that you’re paying through the nose for in this bumper issue, they contain a rare compendium of delights. We’ve got confessions of calamitous careers in the constabulary, step-by-step instructions for do-it-yourself diabolism and the rigorous recriminatory ruminations of a rogue town planner. We’ve got divine decadence and sultry San Francisco nights along with the exploits of troubled everyman Johnny Viable, some glamorous graffiti, and a tantalising T-shirt transfer from the crayon box of Dodgem Logic’s vendor of voluptuousness Melinda Gebbie.
Published by Mad Love/Knockabout (and available from Top Shelf as well). -- A 64-page perfect-bound magazine

When I get some time, I will try and get goodreads to produce pages for each edition of Alan Moore's "Dodgem Logic", but for now just allow for the five star rating to apply to each issue and the magazine in general. What do you get for 3.50 British pounds? Every page bursts with beautiful artwork, even the numbers for the pages look scrumptious, and then there's the fact that this is Alan Moore's magazine, so you know a few things: his buddies and family members will show up to contribute, lots of talk about Northampton, lots of talks about art and the occult and history and sex and anarchism and so on. This issue in particular features an article of Moore's on magic that is both illuminating and a bit frustrating (in that I can't debate the person on several of his points, his belief in photons, etc), comic strips stretched from the last issue and going into the next, a knockout cover and so much more, but I just woke up so let the rest be a surprise. Superb magazine, Alan get it back into production damnit, and keep the same price tag, and almost all will be well with the world, for the time it takes you to read the issue.
