Flashbacks 10

Primary coverage: NYC, Trains, Old-school Issue: 10 Flashbacks is a very cool zine which (as the name implies) covers graffiti's illustrious past. Since this is put out by Poem, you know it's going to be first class.

The photos do a great job of reminding current writers of what graffiti once was like, and more importantly, what graffiti is still all about. Since many of the photos are 10-15 years old, the picture quality isn't always the best, but Flashbacks nonetheless does an exemplary job of displaying the fathers of our culture in the best way possible. Flashbacks also features great interviews with just about every old-school king you can imagine, and well-written articles on assorted graff topics, which makes for an all-around great magazine.
