Aah if it's for generic comedy Viz still holds it's own (the 30% that isn't shit is worth it).
This is my guide to life. I was going to put up the image of people injecting their naughty bits with saline, but I'm not a complete monster.

Have to agree to disagree there. I found it to be a confusing mess of a magazine when I tried it (second issue I think). Perhaps its got better with time and found its feet, but I just felt it was trying to cram far too much into it and some of the writing was beyond pretentious.
I was hoping you were going to mention one I hadn't heard of for me to seek out
Hmm Scifinow is awful, Deathray has found it's feet in my view it's far more literate. Had articles on HG Wells and Jules Vernes that were excelent and told me stuff I didn't know (including some stuff about Verne I won't write as Griff will only take the mick).
Some of the older Bizarre's covered alot of outsider writers like Edward Darger.
Otherwise everything else is a scream sheet for it's sponsor.
David Langford wrote an ace book column for Whitedwarf years ago, could for picking out second hand and out of print stuff.
