is an extremely rare find: Issue number 5 of Exit magazine, the groundbreaking counter-culture publication edited by George Petros from 1984 to 1994. It is my understanding that t were only five issues of this magazine published, so this would be the final one. If you're reading this listing, you know what this is. If not, look it up online.This is a large "zine", measuring 11" by 15". I am not an expert in rare and out of print "zines", but in my opinion it is in good condition for its age. I will elaborate on its condition: The cover has a small gouge and shows signs of being handled. The pages are bent over on the lower right corner (see foto). The pages are slightly yellowed as one would expect from newspaper type paper that is this old. The very first page looks to have been cut out and one illustration from another page was cut out (fotos show these flaws). The staple binding is intact, but loose. Other than that, it's in remarkably good shape for a "zine" that's approximately 14 years old. T is no doodling in it whatsoever, no marks from w cups were set down on it and no torn pages. Among other things, this issue contains various illustrations with quotes from Nietzsche, a history of cannibalism by Salvatore Canzonieri, a retrospective on the swastika, and the illustrated narrative "My role in the History of War ...as described and interpreted by George Petros." Be advised that this magazine contains numerous disturbing, graphic images that are not suitable for children or anyone content with the status quo. For reference, I am including in this listing the following text from amazon's web site, w they are selling a compilation of the five Exit magazines published from 1984 to 1994. This compilation book contains the best of the Exit magazines, not the entirety of them. To get Exit in its entirety, one would have to procure the original magazines. This magazine will be carefully packaged in cardboard. Shipping within USA via USPS Priority Mail will be $5. If you prefer another shipper that offers insurance and tracking, I will be happy to oblige. You will only be charged the actual shipping cost. International bidders will have shipping cost determined at close of auction, as I will not research shipping costs to the world. You will only be charged actual shipping costs. Bidders from countries w custom duties must be paid: DO NOT ASK ME TO PUT A FALSE VALUE ON THIS ITEM. AS YOU WILL BE OUT OF LUCK IF IT IS LOST OR RUINED IN TRANSIT. I am an honest and conscientious seller. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. FROM AMAZON'S DESCRIPTION OF THE EXIT COMPILATION BOOK: For a diabolical decade - 1984-1994 - t existed Exit magazine, an outlaw Sci-Fi Pop Art magazine in opposition to both the underground and the establishment. It was a forum for extreme ideologies and inclinations manifested as political pornography, psycho-sexual terrorism, scientific threats and infernal texts. It was graced by contributions from the best artists and writers in America - famous, infamous, and unknown - each driven by unusual passions to excel and influence and go all the way. Back issues of the magazine have been known to trade hands among collectors for $150.00 and more. Now, for the first time, the best of material from EXIT magazine has been collected together into one massive, dangerous tome. Also included is re-worked, updated and new material from the same era, as well as material intended for issue #6 of EXIT which was never printed. FROM REVIEWS OF THE EXIT COLLECTION: A burning written sacrament on the altar of the Horrible Truth, "The EXIT Collection" compiles all the writings and artwork originally published only in "EXIT", an ultra- rare publication that enjoyed a decade of illumination under the stewardship of George Petros. Finding the originals of this seminal publication would be well-nigh impossible now; fortunately, Tacit Publications has issued this collection to remedy that situation. "EXIT" brought together the best and brightest, the most daring and unshackled undergr... read more
