Issue Five—Has Sold Out—but it might still be available from one of our retailers

Issue 5.

Johnny America Five is our largest and most elaborate issue yet, split into three booklets totaling seventy-two pages of essays, fiction, very-short shorts, and reviews of lottery tickets and books. Each of the three booklets has a different day-glo cover. It might well be the most brightly-colored lit-zine yet produced.

Issue Five includes a tale of an anthropomorphic book looking for a good home by Toshiki Kojo, a story about an unlikely superhero by G.D. Ward (a print zine exclusive), a rare and patented analysis of the spectator sport by Eli S. Evans (also print exclusive) and other new and new-ish stories by James Spillane, Writer X, Jonathan Holley (print exclusive), Emily Lawton, Mark Brown, Eliza Green, Timmy Waldron (print exclusive), Nick Ostdick, Hosho McCreesh, Thomas Cooper, Tom Conoboy, Kate McShane, Derek Gray, and C.L. Bledsoe.

Issue Three

Johnny America, Issue Three (Halloween, 2005) is a 40 page thread-bound affair. The stock we use for the interior pages is embedded with tiny flakes of freeze-dried paper, like a miniature snowstorm trapped on each page. Cover-creator Patrick Giroux silk-screened three layers of ink onto the card stock covers, one of which glows in the dark. Includes a mini-comic.

Issue Two ( SALE — regularly $3 )

Issue One — Sold Out

Picture of Issue One.

Johnny America, Issue One (Spring, 2004), is left listed here because we don’t have an archive page yet. Soon, soon—remember, we are slow. There are still exactly 17 copies of the very limited issue one re-print available via the Johnny America Intro Pack (listed above) if you’re truly desperate.

One-Inch Pin (New & Improved!)

Picture of a J.A. pin: white rabbit on pink background

Pictured about is our old button, which we once described as “a charming one-inch pin featuring an illustration of Johnny atop a pink background.” Our new button is similar—slightly better, even—but due to lack of photographic skills, we are unable to capture its image. Imagine: exactly the same rabbit, in an identical pose, except with his outline drawn in red instead of black. Now, picture the pink background speckled with subtle white stars. Finally, visualize the matte white paper switched with acetate, resulting in a slightly metallic finish that blinds digital cameras like a second sun as their automatic flashes reflect back into their lenses. That’s what the new pins look like, basically. Take our word for it: they’re pretty sweet.

Date With a J.A. Representative

Based on your answers to a detailed questionnaire, we will pair you with the Johnny America Representative we believe most in need of liquor and food. If you’re not witty and good-looking, be prepared to foot the bill for three to four hours of heavy drinking. If you’re handsome or pretty, the J.A. Representative’s drink consumption will probably be moderate. You are warned if you’re ugly or annoying: many of our representatives can drink $200 in a night. Further, you will be responsible for all incidental costs—jukebox money, change for snacks, etc.—that the J.A. representative incurs over the course of the date. All drink, dinner, and transportation costs are soley your responsibility. We reserve the right to document the date’s activities and publish a review. Not responsible for broken hearts or venereal diseases.
