This zine is not bad: well written, entertaining, I even learned a few things. My favourite piece “Who Is the Mystery Girl? Debra Paget” was surprisingly well researched and read smoothly, something that is hard to come by in most zines. I found it interesting how the author was inspired to write the story after purchasing a vintage Debra Paget poster at a local flea market. At first the author is intrigued by the old time Xena-like warrior woman on the poster, but soon enough his curiosity morphs into near obsession, going as far as purchasing a DVD player so he can play two rare Paget flicks he orders at nothing less than fifty bucks a pop: “No turning back now, Steve. You go to sleep every night with that poster staring right at you, man. GO FOR IT!” It was refreshing to see someone get so intrigued by a subject; it reflected a level of excitement that seeped into more than the Paget article, but that was evident throughout the entire publication. This zine was a great read and I can’t really pinpoint anything I didn’t like about it. Looks good too. (Audrey Gagnon)
