Back cover of issue #5 — with space for writing mailing address. (At that time, we didn’t use envelopes — we’d staple the issue closed and put the stamps and address on the back cover.)

“Shapely Mind Press” — which was just me — published both Hermenaut and Luvboat Earth. At one point, I announced several other zines, too, but they never happened.

Richard Hamilton’s 1956 collage Just What Is It That Makes Today’s Homes So Different, So Appealing? needs no introduction, nor do I need to explain why we appropriated it.

Pub. Date: 1994
Theme: Grotesque
Hermenaut: Nietzsche
Pages:
Print Run: 1,500
