Los Angeles: Bruce Kalberg, 1983. First Printing. Stapled Tabloid. Very Good. Lane Smith. Tabloid newsprint magazine measures 11" x 13.5". Unpaginated. Cover printed in four color. Laden with black-and-white photography. Old crease from being folded in half, now mellowed; slight age-toning. Recognizing that new-music enthusiasts hungered for images of scenesters, editor-publisher Kalberg loaded NO MAG with scads of photos, many shot by himself. The layout was dynamic and enhanced by Lane Smith's splotchy ink drawings, a la Ralph Steadman.This issue is firmly rooted in the post-punk LA underground, with a big spread on Tex and the Horseheads, a photo tribute to Chris Morris and the Circle Jerks, Steve-O and the Vandals, and an ad for an upcoming Mentors show at the Cathay de Grande, etc.Now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
