My wife and I used to buy the WWN on a, well, weekly basis. The "photos" were--and still are, I'm sure--hilarious. I remember a story, several years back, about a boy being crushed by his own tuba. If I'm remembering correctly, the picture depicted portly teenager partially swallowed by the tuba. My wife and I clipped out the article/picture, wrote "You're next, Tuba Boy!" and mailed it--anonymously--to a friend of mine who played tuba in the high school band.
To this day, he's still not completely certain who sent him that picture.

I really enjoyed the article about Sergio helping out the aliens with his drawings. Richard great coverage on the Tiger-Men, let's hope we can live peacefully with them.

Paul, there's unconfirmed rumors they're trying to muscle into the breakfast cereal racket. Great. ;)

I finally tracked the issue down! Loved it! It took some doing - it was the first issue in a long time to sell out at all my local newsagents - either Hitler's ghost has everyone curios, or there are still a few Byrne fans in San Francisco...
The one Saint reminded me of Lex Luthor!
Anyway - Richard - you're going to keep us posted when new JB issues are due out, right?

I missed the issue. By the time I made it to the grocery store
newsrack, they had replaced that issue with the next week's.
Anybody got scans of the art?
WO

That would be the Anti-Saint of Alienation, Lexx.
