Misanthrope dealt with the dark underbelly of society and the horrors and perversions one would expect to find there. The first issue came out at the end of 1997 -- just in time for that Christmas stocking! There was a second issue planned, but as often happens with these things, it never happened.

Fanzine that mixed comic strips with fiction reprints (including "Valor Of Cappen Varra" by Poul Anderson).

The magazine featured poetry, essays, and film, art, and literature reviews.

For most of it's run, Mr. America was a bodybuilding and fitness magazine, but in August 1952 it changed to a men's adventure magazine. Confusingly it then split into two magazines, American Manhood which continued the issue numbering of the former magazine but ran only for a further 7 issues before folding, and a new Mr. America which restarted at v1#1 but only ran for 5 issues before reverting to being a body-building magazine with no fiction.
