We’re not the only ones celebrating an anniversary! The infamous punk humour zine Black Leather Times is turning 25, and it’s time to put together a compilation of, well, the whole damn catalog! That’s 400 pages of wackiness, music reviews, opinion pieces, and of course silly and generally offensive magazine quizzes.

Here’s a bit of history from the editor/creator Amelia G:

I used to live in a DC area punk rock group house called Cambodia. Yes, you are right, it was named after the Dead Kennedys song. My concerned parents told me they worried it was “just like Andy Warhol’s Factory”. I heard “artistic incubator” and set about publishing first BLT and then Blue Blood. BLT contributors have done all sorts of marvelous things in art, writing, music, gaming, and crime. I’m so grateful to have been able to work with so many cool and interesting and talented individuals. Even the dicks. Sometimes dicks can have great senses of humor.

Help the dicks and all the others become immortalized by donating! You can get copies of the book, t-shirts, and more for your generosity.
