                         STAINED PAGES
                     Issue 1, Summer 1995


After 6 long months of procrastination and preparation, it's finally
complete - the first issue of STAINED PAGES. Largely the work of Sheryl
Kirby and Greg Clow (both former contributors and co-editors of the
sucessful Toronto gothic fanzine THE NINTH WAVE), along with a few of
our close friends, STAINED PAGES will provide you with the answers to
such burning questions as:

                     "Are vampires real?"
          "In cyberspace, can anybody hear you swing?"
            "Nine Inch Nails... what's the deal?" *
                           and more!

* (Actually, this is a lie. Although this zine does, indeed, pose vague
questions regarding the popularity of Whine... uh, I mean Nine Inch
Nails, we fail to come to any answers or conclusions. Oh well.)


Features in this fabulous and fascinating forty-eight page first issue
include:

> lengthy interviews with musical group MIRANDA SEX GARDEN; editor of
  "Action Girl Comics", SARAH DYER; and author of "How Insensitive",
  RUSSELL SMITH

> a profile of Toronto-based experimental label FREEDOM IN A VACUUM and
  it's founder, ROBERT OLVER

> an unbelieveably cool and swingin' HIPSTER'S GUIDE TO THE INTERNET

> a visit to the City That Care Forgot, NEW ORLEANS

> tons o' reviews, recipes, poetry, and other fun stuff
