memories of a world beforeTo celebrate those whose work existed before Behemoth, our editorial team would like to acknowledge publications such as: Blank Fiction, Swivel, The Gettysburg Review, Punk Planet, Shonen Jump USA, and other now defunct magazines. Whether they are defunct or at least on hiatus, the mentioned magazines collected a variety of works in a thematic visual aesthetic that we associate nostalgic memories of reading during our school and college years. Cheers to you, wherever you are.
We’d also like to respectfully remember the artists, writers, actors, and creators that we have lost this year, including: Marjane Satrapi, Tim Curry, Sam Neill, Peter Cullen, Dolly Parton, Mike McFarland, Sal Buscema, Gerry Conway, Mike McFarland, Tatjana Wood, and many others whose work has influenced our work.
