Everything about Punk Magazine totally explained
Punk was a
fanzine created by cartoonist
John Holmstrom, publisher
Ged Dunn and "resident punk"
Legs McNeil. They published a total of 17 issues between
1976 and
1979. Covers featured such artists as
Sex Pistols,
Iggy Pop,
Lou Reed,
Patti Smith and
Blondie. The magazine staff went through many changes during those years, as a result Ged Dunn left in early 1977 and Legs quit shortly afterwards.
Punk was a vehicle for discussing and examining the
underground music scene in New York, primarily what would be called
punk rock. The music was exemplified by bands and performers like
Wayne County which were featured in clubs like
Max's Kansas City and
CBGB. It mixed
Mad Magazine-style cartooning with the more straightforward pop journalism of the kind found in
Creem.
In 2001
Punk was re-launched, but the events on 9/11 set back the plans for a relaunch. In 2006 the magazine was revived, and current issues are still being published.
