While from the cover—with its prominently displayed interviews with punk legends Mike Watt and Subhumans—you might assume Fluke has returned to its roots as a punk rock fanzine, but from the first page of editor Matthew Thompson's introduction it becomes obvious that it's a little less straightforward (and maybe a little more metaphysical) than that. "I've always believed that this magazine creates itself," he writes. "As the editor, my task is to follow its direction, learn where it's leading me and present it to you—the reader."

Within there are travel stories—stories from punk-kid pasts, from being roadies on the road, from a fanatical walker. And yes, plenty of great stories from semi-surrealist storyteller Mike Watt (Minutemen, mssv) about the '70s and '80s L.A. punk scene and beyond.

Words from Jessie Lynn McMains, Matt Limo, Marcher Arrant, the staff at Stinkweeds Records, Robert and Karoline Collins, Jessica Mills, and more. 

60 pages, half-letter size. Full-color, offset-print.
