Trash City 12
Spring 1992
3 | Editorial Waffle by Jim McLennan, self-proclaimed editor of this publication, in which you are introduced to his ego. | Three Pin Plugs In which the editor tries to take as much credit as he can for something he didn’t write… | 26 |
4 | Samurai Pizza Cats “I blame this for the rise of the American serial killer” | Fighting Females “…and it’s nice to see colour co-ordinated underwear in vogue” | 31 |

22 | High Weirdness By Mail This mail-bag wasn’t as laughable as the last. It only had one letter in it (Aw!)… but at least it was a long one. | San Futuro… Or is it ? Boredom strikes at the heart of TC, and then along comes the man from Customs… | 45 |
24 | Handy Household Hints Help the Customs service by following this handy check-list. | Grievous Bodily Charm “…a large proportion of eight-year olds, and video store shelves.. | 49 |
Editor Jim McLennan. He’s the man who wanders around in his pyjamas with a packet of Romany Creams muttering “It’s a tough life”. Brian Bower, Jason Parker, Lino, Per and Steve contributed to the twelfth issue of this Quarterly ‘zine, published but three times a year. This anomaly may possibly be connected to the following three facts; 1) We spend our time actually doing the things we write about, 2) Jim keeps wanting to rewrite the film reviews and 3) Have you ever tried to illustrate a piece on UFOs? In comparison to TC’s conception, which is slow, noisy and leaves the Art Ed with sticky fingers for a week, its birth in John London’s hands at Copyprint is a miracle.
Another miracle is the subscription price which remains at 75p/issue, $2 Europe, $3 Elsewhere, $850 3WA headquarters (includes danger money). For the Gospel According to TC parts 9, 10 and 11 you’d better be quick, as we have less than a dozen of each. at £1/$2/$3. TC9 will soon be a T-shirt and the rest of us will probably have an identity crisis too before the next ish. All contributions to this creation, except those about the artistic merit of “Driller Killer “, should be sent to the following address which will shortly be wrong:
