"The most visually inventive magazine of the early ‘80s." Nick Kimberley CITY LIMITS " My first taste of CIPHER, and I’m left with the feeling of being well and truly assaulted. Books, within books, within books; it’s the only way I can describe the layout used here. And enthusiasm. So much enthusiasm that the damn thing throws itself at you, and not I might add at your feet. Small press at its most hardest and fastest. Catch it, it’s worth it." Chuck Connor IDOMO |
