Hi, gygax. The earliest issue of Ugly American that I have is number seven and that's from 1991 -- I'd assume they didn't publish six issues in two years (they usually averaged about one issue a year), so I'd guess they started up some time in the eighties. And, hey, no one gives props to Pure?! Regardless, I think it's clear that the greatest zine of the new millennium is Van Halen's Cancer (wink!).

Well, fuck, sorry for underlining everything.

van halen's cancer proudly greets any visitors to my water closet (please accept this as the highest compliment possible).

What ever happened to Karen Ablaze btw (last I heard she was singing with 'Coping Saw' who I never got to hear). Loved her fanzine, though. Didn't the late lamented Jamming! start out as a 'zine?

Karren did an album with a band called Wack Cat after Coping Saw, then became a serious Buddhist...in the N.K.T.
