Here’s the contents page for our fourth issue to give our readers an idea of what we have in stock for October and November. We’ve never featured so many different artists! We’re glad our fans are getting so excited about this issue - half of the first run has already sold out, before the zine has even arrived. If you’d like to pre-order a copy (which will be dispatched on 29th October), email paperbrains@gmail.com !
