You guys in the US take the art of making consumer magazines very seriously. Something major magazine publishers in the UK often seem kind of envious of. I just wish Good Magazine had looked beyond the shores to see what the rest of the world has been reading. :( Thanks for the link to the NMCA too. Every bit of attention it gets pushes me to make it better so thanks for the encouragement. Loving your blog! I think it’s good to have a mixture.

They really should have used a different title like 'Best US-centric magazines ever' or something. I know many magaophiles outside the US found this 'Best Ever' declaration quite insulting.

Hard to believe that was from 1981! (god, I was only 1 year old then, ha!) With all the proliferation of street art magazines nowadays, it's really interesting to see a street art feature from so long ago. Ms. Keough:

I had every issue of The Face from 1998 till its demise. But unfortunately, in some dumb spasm of idiocy I threw them all out when I moved. I regret it daily. Trust me. And no, I have not schooled you on <em>Wet</em>, this is Graydon Carter's list, not mine, and I too had never heard of <em>Wet</em> until his article.
