*Signed by Alan Moore on the front cover* Original bought from Knockabout Comics. DODGEM LOGIC: Colliding ideas to see what happens. Forty years after the heyday of the alternative press, writer Alan Moore is launching the 21st century's first underground magazine from his home town of Northampton, a community that is right at the geographical, political and economic heart of the country; one which has half its high street boarded up and is at present dying on its arse, just like everywhere else. Dodgem Logic sets out to provide a splash of subterranean exotica in a bleached-out cultural and social landscape. Regular columnists provide delicious, inexpensive recipes, wide-ranging medical advice, simple instructions for creating stylish clothing and accessories from next to nothing, guides to growing your own dinner by becoming a guerrilla gardener, and, in the first of Dave (The Self-Sufficient-ish Bible) Hamilton's environmental columns, a bold experiment in living with no money. Not only seeking to give practical advice on getting through a rough stretch, Dodgem Logic is also committed to brightening the world with the astonishing cartoon-work of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's Kevin O'Neill or that of underground legend Savage Pencil; the musings of Father Ted, The IT Crowd and Black Book's own Graham Linehan or of the nation's sweetheart, the implacably positive Josie Long. In addition to a variously-hosted women's column launched by Lost Girls co-creator and underground cartoon artist Melinda Gebbie, Alan Moore will himself be contributing a lead feature on the history of underground subversive publishing from its origins in the thirteenth century. 48 pages + 8 page local insert, all in full psychedelic colour and a free CD.
