Attila Number 3
IN COLOR
This js the year for it, it seems•••••color, color everywhere••• INK, so far four issues, IT & FRIENDS both in their current issues in color covers. FRIENDS rainbowing out thru the issue in realL nice style. WHAT does it all mean?
Well, for a start it’s starting to come together. Pretty patterns. Just as soon as I get it all down, Roar/shock treatment••••WHEN the walls ot the city SHIIKE•..the mode of the music CHANGES.
INK coming in hard-ass color almost hurts your eyes. Whatever happened to flower-power? Longish stories, in depth, the observer of the underground••••wherever that is. & getting better all the time.
IT 04, more like it used to be good old days. Not that they
WERE all that good, just familiar. Motheaten dogs.
& FRIENDS•••where i’m more personally at home. At home? Graphically nothing like as good as IT.
But l oking at INK 4, IT 104, & PHRENZ 30 it looks like INK was good for evArybody. The whole scene is that little bit tighter.
god BLESS the good ship undergro nd & all who sink in her.

REMEMBER FLYNN? One of the town’s more famous dossers. Always looking up at you (and Flynn is a pretty tall guy) thru his eyebrows, like as to say “Yeah, I. goofed again, didn’t I?”
Well he goofed again.
This time he’s in Brixton on remand. Seems he was in a cemetary, taking his ease, having a little sip of meths or whatever, quietly with a few friends. Along passes by some guy, and a v10man Flynn was with says, “That’s the sonofabitch that fucked up my teeth. He calls himself a dentist.11
So Flynn, he’s a gentleman, gets· t-6 hi·s-·feet·nnd.. starts having it out with the guy & they argue & Flynn hit him over the head with a gravestone.
So like I sal.d he’s on remand in Br:ii.Xton for assault with a deadly weapon.
Maybe true, maybe not, but roll on , Flynn!

more effective on a local level if theri were
more community participation at meetings. So
far the NationaFront represent tives (like
something out of Al Capone) seem to outnumber the faithful at open meet_ings.

Sanctuary
Give me shelter. /\nether thing there’s none of so far in town is a place where people with not necessarily drug problems can
go where they can be pretty much Dff by themselves to get better.
& probably somebody to talk to \”Jhich might keep somebody out
of jail, out of the loony bin?
===============================================================
The future of ATTILA=
i’ll try to keep it going until somebody replaces it or until somebody takes it over or until i go round the – end. it doesn’t take much•••••mainly time. vmAGGLE TAGGLE gave a quid toward
the last issue s did OPEN SECT. Net loss (with the greedy litho cover) about a fiver. Which is pretty dumb. So from now on, until an a!lgel or until the millenium,” or until the mag can do 300 or so sold we’ll stick to country style mimeo.
If anybody’s got eyes for taking it over & keeping it running, every week, let me know at UNICORN. It’s yours, baby. Th” one isn’t my particular ego trip.
dOHN ANDERSON did the cover for this issue. Thanks John. /\nybody wants to do artwork is welcome•••••that t s another thing i’m not
