Pretty Things

December 27th, 2008
Author Sarah Jaffe

Print may be dying, but some people are putting out really great arguments for its continued existence.

The glossy magazine Coilhouse is one of those arguments. Billed as “A love letter to alternative culture,” it’s kind of goth-y and kind of steampunk-y and completely gorgeous.

Among the goodness in the current issue: full-color cutout paper dolls by Molly Crabapple, interview with comics creator Andy Ristaino, Margaret Cho, and lots of pretty, pretty pictures.

Warren Ellis says you want one, and who are you to tell Warren Ellis no? Or me, for that matter?

    looks cool

    don’t get where this ‘print is dying’ thing comes from though, seen no evidence of that myself…just people trying to kill it

    It comes from lots and lots of statistics that say that magazines and especially newspapers are losing money by the bucketload and were even before the economy took a nosedive. Advertisers are taking their money to the Web.
