''Punk'' was a Fanzine created by cartoonist John Holmstrom , publisher Ged Dunn and "resident punk" Legs McNeil . They published a total of 17 issues between 1976 and 1979 . Covers featured such artists as Lou Reed , Patti Smith and Blondie . The magazine staff went through many changes during those years, as a result Ged Dunn left in early 1977 and Legs quit shortly afterwards. Punk was a vehicle for discussing and examining the Underground Music scene in New York, primarily what would be called Punk Rock . The music was exemplified by bands like Wayne County which was featured in clubs like Max's Kansas City and CBGB . It mixed '' Mad Magazine ''-style cartooning with the more straightforward pop journalism of the kind found in '' Creem ''. In 2001 ''Punk'' was re-launched, but the events on 9/11 set back the plans for a relaunch. In 2006 the magazine was revived, and current issues are still being published. EXTERNAL LINK |
