The Mega-Zine Museum
May 31, 1996
HAPPY HIPPY wants to take a degree in 'Zine-ology. Think twice, mate, you wouldn't want to make a fool of yourself by failing WLW's exam papers!
IRON LION isn't interested in a Cyber Conference. "I'd be unpopular". Ah, now who made you feel this way?
POGO PRINCESS bounces in with her manifesto for electing Rugrats as the new government. Desist please, we're in a bad enough state already. Vote WLW!
COBAIN'S MOOD SWING sent a prized piece
of literature slagging other 'Ziners.
IT LOOKED GOOD AS IT HIT THE BIN
DEAR 'ZINE
Why does everyone try to be so horrible to AFKA Gonzo? Will I'm going to be different and pay him a compliment.
I think the said scribe is very brave to associate himself with a small maroon, furry, incredibly ugly puppet, whose gimmick on TV was getting dumped by a chicken a lot.

GONZO
With friends like you, Gonzo will never
BLOW HIS TRUMPET AGAIN. BRILL!!
DEAR JAR MANN'S FUTURE WIFE & OTHERS
You sad girlies! You can't know Jar very well. If you did, you would know that Jar - intelligent, creative and spiritually mature - wouldn't glance twice at dull schoolgirls.
Anyone who warns a fellow fan to "get off my turf" must be brimming with originality and brains.
C'mon Jar fans and unite. There's no point in threatening each other.
Score Settler
Is Settler a tad touchy or do his
POINTS HAVE RELEVANCE? THE FORMER.
DEAR 'ZINE
A soap tale to match Iron Lion's journey through his CD collection.
Once upon a time, there lived two neighbours caled Emma and Dale. They lived in Coronation Street, in the old East End.
One day when Dale wasn't home (he was away), Emma broke in and stole the holly and oak trees from the brook side of his garden. When Dale returned, he was mad as El (dorado) and sent hit The Bill.
Now roll the credits!
Soap on a Rope
I know soaps can be boring but when
YOU STOOP TO THIS LEVEL... SAD!!
ALBUM REVIEW: MANIC STREET PREACHERS / Everything Must Go
After finding out who wrote the song lyrics and noting that Richey wrote five of them, I expected the album to be some kind of Holy Bible Part 2. But Richey's lyrics without Richey's singing don't have the same effect.
Still Micky, James and Shaun have done a great job and created a top album. Songs to look out for include Kevin Carter and Small Black Flowers.

DEAR WLW
C'mon, spill the beans - what do you do with all the letters you receive? There must be loads of them. Do you put them in a filing cabinet, so that when you're bored you can reminisce about good old days when Savo and Dizzie Indie Dandelion graced the 'Zine?
Or do you send rubbish letters off to the incinerator? What about a book called "The Highlights (And Lowlights) of the 'Zine?" Then again, maybe not!
Jiffylube
Honestly, would you pay to see letters
BY AFKA GONZO IN A BOOK? MAYBE...
