PUNK (Magazine)

Punk Magazine was a fanzine created by John Holmstrom, publisher Ged Dunn and Legs McNeil in 1975, and was the first publication to popularize the CBGB scene. Through this magazine artists such as The Stooges, the New York Dolls and The Ramones were accepted around the world.


Punk published a total of 15 issues between 1976 and 1979, as well as a special issue in 1981, and several more issues in the new millennium. Covers featured such artists as Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Patti Smith and Blondie.

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.
