Super Magazine
FROM REAL TO HYPERREAL. THIS IS SUPER MAGAZINE. PUBLISHED IN JAPAN BETWEEN 1977 AND 1979.
NINE ISSUES IN TOTAL. EACH ONE AMAZE. TOGETHER REPRESENTING A HIGH
POINT IN POPULAR POSTMODERNISM.
AMAZINES! The magazines equivalent of extreme sports. Everything pushed to the max. Two years of visual acceleration.
There were nine issues in total. We have them all. Spanning the few years between Star Wars and Gary Numan's Are Friends Electric? Airbrushes, synthesisers and light sabers were the tools at hand. The analog world imagining its own digital future.
These Super magazines are also consistently, page by page, nuts. Hundreds of pages of design and photography that can't be googled. There are more ideas in these issues than there are apps on the app store. A whole new world hidden in the past.
Consistently nuts.
Still crazy.
Inescapably inexplicable.
Only ten years before Photoshop.
Save the whale. The text reads.
All nine issues are yours via the button below. Given how almost impossibly hard they were to find, we have made it ridiculously easy for you! JUST GET THEM NOW!
