Little Joe No. 1

Finally the search for a good queer zine is over, and by good i mean a zine that doesn't scream pretentious queer zine like so many other's do.I Came across this Zine when i was on the (BUTT Blog) and although i have not liked Butt Magazine more recent publications, i still find time to skim through their blog on the occasion. This Zine is everything i want in a Zine naked men, film talk and a vintage feel created by the printing and screen captures throughout the publication. I feel that their has been a lack change in the queer zine genera for example with Butt magazine i feel that i might as well not bother collecting every issue because of the Butt Book which will hopefully fingers crossed have a sequel. I only have issue 26 and the Book, i wish i would have knew about Butt magazine when it launched back in the fall of 2001, but then again i would have been the only 10 year old starting a queer zine collection. Little Joe is a little on the expensive side for an 80 page glossy cover zine but it's worth it. It took seven days to get to me from London and since i had to have them send my copy to the U.S. the total coast with shipping and handling was $17.99 the Zine it's self was $12 It's a easy read and is broken down into sections and full of great imagery


"Little Joe is a new biannual publication looking at film from a different perspective. It is a direct move away from the traditional method of reviewing all current and future releases towards a more selective and eclectic focus on films that inspire alternative discourse."
