Hi there,
What can we say? We've really missed you.
1. ARTHUR RETURNS TO PRINT DEC. 22, 2012
After a four-year sabbatical (faked death?), your beloved revolutionary sweetheart Arthur returns to print, renewed, refreshed, reinvigorated and in a bold new format: pages as tall and wide as a daily newspaper, printed in color and black and white on compostable newsprint, with ads only on the back cover(s). Amazing!
In partnership with Portland, Oregon's Floating World Comics (http://arthurmag.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=f8697adf9783bf23e231bdd05&id=d26ea18b57&e=7fc0d4c499) , Arthur's gang of goofs, know-it-alls and village explainers are back, from Bull Tonguers Byron Coley and Thurston Moore to radical ecologist Nance Klehm to trickster activists Center for Tactical Magic to Defend Brooklyn (http://arthurmag.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f8697adf9783bf23e231bdd05&id=b5511b4b56&e=7fc0d4c499) 's socio-political commentator Dave Reeves to a host of new, fresh-faced troublemakers, edited by ol' doofus Jay Babcock and art directed by Yasmin Khan. You want a peek at the contents? So sorry, compadre! Wait 'til Arthur No. 33's publication date: December 22, 2012. That's right… 12.22.2012… THE DAY AFTER THE NON-END OF THE WORLD!
Please keep in mind... Arthur is no longer distributed for free anywhere. Those days are (sadly) long gone. Now you gotta buy Arthur or you won't see it. Our price: Five bucks cheeeeeep!
NOW YOU MAY PRE-ORDER ARTHUR NO. 33 - CLICK HERE TO GET ON IT! (http://arthurmag.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f8697adf9783bf23e231bdd05&id=119be886b4&e=7fc0d4c499)

A Counterculture Totem to Return as a Leaner Magazine
By BEN SISARIO
From 2002 to 2008, Arthur was music’s version of a literary-minded “little magazine.” Distributed free in record stores and coffee shops (((since these venues basically no longer exist, that probably become difficult))), it celebrated underground culture of all kinds and attracted writers like Alan Moore (“Watchmen”), Douglas Rushkoff and even Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, who wrote a reviews column with the critic Byron Coley (((
