MOLOTAV COCKTAIL #7

What can you say about Molotov Cocktail that hasn't already been said? Simply put, if you haven't seen this zine, you haven't seen how good a graffiti zine can get. The finest blends of images and words available to the graffiti community. Molotov believes that graffiti is more about culture than art, and the result is a magazine of both style and substance -- and hovering around 60 pages with almost no advertisements, Molotov will satisfy even the most voracious graffiti appetite.

First, Molotov is about substance, and it delivers bigtime: articles, interviews, poems, and expositions abound. The interviews are both engaging and educational. The articles and expositions are unique and offbeat, and the presence of poetry speaks of a presence seldom seen the corporate graffiti machine: a heart. What's more, all of it is available in both French and English.

Second, Molotov is about style: from bombing to productions, Molotov covers it all, and covers it in XXL portions. The pieces, while a bit small for self-study, are nonetheless of high-quality and presented in vast quantities. The focus on style doesn't stop with the artwork, however: pay special attention to Molotov's beautiful layout, which shows how the truly great layouts are those that manage to have style and still let the content speak. How can a zine get so many damn things right? Molotov is sickeningly good
