Royal Flush Magazine
Royal Flush is a cross between Hit Parader, Mad, and Famous Monsters of Filmland, providing an intersection between heavy metal/punk culture and comix. Each issue is more of a bookshelf quality anthology than a magazine, and offers a selection of interviews with rock and pop-culture icons as well as original comics.
Book Five features comic book fan Patton Oswalt, the art of Iron Maiden, the MC5, and a look at 1980s movie villains such as Martin Kove from Karate Kid. Heading the comics section is “Hispanic Batman” by Rodriguez & Bernstein, along with Neil Swaab, Harlan P. Cress, and others.
Each issue of Royal Flush is so maniacally crammed with cool material that I find myself still coming across new stuff I haven’t had a chance to read yet. Whether you’re a music fan or an indie comix buff, there is plenty for you in Royal Flush.
