What no-longer-published magazines/papers do you miss reading?

[Lavender Brown]

I'm bummed because my favorite magazine, Domino, is folding. I was hoping they would keep the website alive, but it's going too.

http://www.dominomag.com/

:( The only magazines I like reading always end up going under. There are other decorating magazines but they don't focus on affordable things. I guess I have to read home blogs instead.

1. Life, Saturday Evening Post.

:codger:

[MajorChode]

3. Life +1

I still had a subscription when they stopped publishing the last time, and I still have the last 2 issues ratholed away somewhere.

[Ptah]

5. Here's the picture from the first cover

Fort Peck spillway

[jmowreader]

33. The Saturday Evening Post is still being published

I think you have to subscribe because they probably don't sell it on newsstands, but it's still being published on paper.

37. Photo from The Saturday Evening Post - Nov. 14, 1964

Taken on the school yard in tiny Edison Ohio. A story about the "oil boom" in Morrow County in the early 60's.

2. Clamor

[Ivan Sputnik]

4. S P Y

A satirical, anti-celebrity magazine in the 80s and 90s. It was very influential. A lot of its attitude and graphic style has been absorbed into other magazines, though in watered-down fashion, IMO.

[musette_sf]

7. another vote for SPY

of which Radar was a weak wannabe...

[Phentex]

13. I still have my 1992 copy of Spy with a very naked

Arnold Schwarzenegger. For the article of course. :D

There's also an article called Gag Rule: How the republicans and one weak-kneed Democrat - Joe Biden - supressed the truth about Clarence Thomas and saved his nomination.

There's a prank on John Sununu.

I think I need to re-read this issue!

[NashVegas]

18. Yet Another Spy

The prod team has spread out well though. Jamie Malanowski's stuff can be found all over the place; the New Yorker's Larissa McFarquhar was an assistant editor at SPY IIRC.

[Patiod]

21. God I loved that magazine

I can't see Donald Trump without thinking about the phrase phrase "thick-fingered vulgarian"

[Hobarticus]

25. Loved Spy...eom

[DinahMoeHum]

36. I have the infamous issue with the expose on Bohemian Grove. . .

the one with Henry Kissinger and Merv Griffin wearing grass skirts and lederhosen and hoisting tiki drinks.

http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/bohemian_grove_spy.html

While there are reprints of the article such as above, they don't come with the pictures, which were VERY revealing...one showed a sign stuck onto a redwood tree which read Gentlemen, Please! No Pee-Pee Here!

:evilgrin:

[Midlodemocrat]

6. Life, Look.

[AlCzervik]

8. Spy.

[Skittles]

29. ooh I LOVED SPY

:thumbsup:

[AlCzervik]

30. funny shit Spy had, i was excited when Radar came out but that wasn't even close, Radar, also gone.

[GOPisEvil]

9. No Depression.

The magazine of Americana music. :(

[no name no slogan]

20. I miss it too. But the "bookzine" format isn't too bad

It's a bit more to read and a bit pricier than a magazine, but still a decent value.

[GOPisEvil]

22. Ah, I will have to look for that.

Didn't know it was out there. Thanks!

[no name no slogan]

26. You bet!

I got my copy at Garrison Keillor's bookstore (Common Good Books in St Paul). I'm not sure of the distribution network, but I'd guess better indie bookstores would sell it. And maybe even some of the outlets that carried the magazine, too.

:D

[flvegan]

10. The Animals' Agenda.

Published by The Animal Rights Network, Inc. Really great animal rights/welfare magazine. Was merged into E The Evironmental Magazine several years ago.

EVERYONE good wrote for them.

[WinkyDink]

11. No joke: "SHUZ". Long "u". Guess the subject matter. But MOSTLY I miss the "old", no-ads "MAD".

It was funnier, wittier, and way less crude than today's version.

[JVS]

12. Life

I miss the big photos

[Phentex]

14. I miss Story magazine which was all short stories...

I think it had stopped publication and then came out again in the 90's and then stopped again - taking my subscription money with it!

[greendog]

15. CoEvolution Quarterly

Best magazine ever published.

[Inchworm]

16. Omni

Loved it.

OMNI

:hi:

EDIT: link issue

[Frank Cannon]

54. Another big thumbs-up for OMNI

God, I loved that magazine. One of the few magazines that I ever read cover-to-cover absolutely every month. I still think about some of the articles and short stories I read 30 years ago in that magazine.

For 15 years, I've waited for something else to fill the void that its passing left behind. I figured with the Penthouse empire collapsing, someone somewhere should have been able to buy the magazine for a song and restore it to its former glory.

[mainegreen]

17. Omni

Though it went downhill rapidly at the end.

[jberryhill]

49. It did

Little known fact - if you held it sideways, the Logo looked like:

0
3
2
1

[Hawkeye-X]

19. Cracked

The web version is still out there.

[jmowreader]

35. Cracked is better now than it used to be

It USED to be a fake, and lame, MAD Magazine. Now it's a good humor site.

[Patiod]

23. Wigwag

I also subscribed to The New Yorker and Spy. Wigway was supposedly the Anti-Spy (very sincere), but I liked both of them, and subscribed.

[femmocrat]

24. The Pittsburgh Press.

The Post-Gazette just isn't the same. :(

[kentauros]

27. Gnosis

1985-1999 : http://www.gnosismagazine.com

I learned a lot about "Western Inner Traditions" from that mag, as well as being introduced to the art of Alex Gray :) http://www.alexgrey.com/obama.html

[ogneopasno]

28. Brill's Content.

Smart, funny magazine.

[leeroysphitz]

31. National Lampoon. N/T

[Manifestor_of_Light]

32. Saturday Review.

It was along the same lines as Harper's or The Atlantic. One of those very old American mags that had famous writers.

I have a complete set of FLAIR, which was a large format magazine similar to Vogue. All the issues had cut out covers and special printing, transparent onionskin inserts, etc. that was quite advanced for 1950. There were only about 12 issues.

[Epiales]

34. LOOT (Lies of our Times)

My sister got me a subscription in the early 90's. It didn't last much longer, but it was a great publication.

[DinahMoeHum]

38. New Times, a publication from 1973 - 1979. . .

New Times was a lot like today's Mother Jones and The American Prospect.

A number of today's top journalists and columnists cut their teeth with this publication, including the NY Times' Frank Rich and NPR's Nina Totenberg.

One of their more famous issues cited "The Ten Dumbest Congressmen", nominating Virginia's 1-term Republican Senator Bill Scott (1973-1979) as King of Dumb.

:evilgrin:

[hunter]

39. I'll go with what Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce of the 4077th was reading...

Well, actually I miss BYTE, but Make: will do for now. (Honest, it's not what it sounds like!)

[mcctatas]

40. Jane

it was like Cosmo for normal people when I was in college!

[Urban Prairie]

41. CREEM Magazine

[PaddyBlueEyes]

42. oui, bigguns, and barely legal..

[mcctatas]

43. Oh Paddy...

[PaddyBlueEyes]

44. D E A D

OMFG :mad: :spank: Thats ok, I just gave Kilt Monthly a full monty!

[bobthedrummer]

45. The entire 60's-early 70's "underground press"

The archive library of the University of California-Santa Cruz has much of it on microfilm.

The Underground Press Collection on Microfilm (UCSC Library)

:smoke:

[ghostsofgiants]

46. Big Brother

47. George

I loved it...understand why its no longer around, but I loved it

[jberryhill]

48. National Lampoon

[jberryhill]

50. George W. Bush, The Week In Review

I only read it for the pictures, honest.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

51. Ben is Dead

a great indie magazine of the late 90s

[pokerfan]

52. FHM (j/k)

Just kidding. I never actually read FHM. :)

Byte
Omni
Cinefantastique
Cracked
Popular Electronics
National Lampoon
Life
Whole Earth Review

[oshyposhy]

53. American Heritage

The old version that came hardbound...not the silly 6 times a year cat pan liner that comes out now.
