Fanzine time!
Paper Cuts #5 : (My review in prose)
I savour non-comics related zine,
I put this down
Under-accomplished and furnished I spublish
Book Of Shadows Of Morrissey Lyrics
Will he see me in court?
I’d like to see him try?
Tis better to be an ass on paper
If it’s away from you, it turns up the fader
‘Ah, a handbag?’
Under-considered and furnished
I spublish
That’s all well and good yet
It’s in another room-la-la
I’d like to see him try
Paper Cuts #8 : My first favourite picture attempts to crush my hopes, control me, stop my physical and compatible development, take away my enjoyment of this zine.
Give me something beautiful
Give me something beautiful
I’ve given you something
Look, I’ve hanging myself
Paper Cuts seems to adhere to the ‘Star Trek films’ rule: the odd-numbereds are shite and the even-numbereds are an improvement on shite.. When Damo Reilly publishes poems like Loki’s ‘Seasons of Soul’ he raises the zine’s worth as does with the more concentrated efforts of his own ‘In A Nutshell’, an illustrated 400 word narrative, about a schoolboy who picks up litter. Overall, this zine is much too unbalanced, and for the most part of my opinion, of little merit. Damo is a thoroughly pleasant chap that wrote and I will be conversing with him. (Whether he converses with me, is unwritten.) Paper Cuts, A4 and 28 pgs is available in Bray Bookshop, Main Street, Bray and Forbidden Planet Dublin for £1.50 plus 50p postage.
