Each issue was built around a specific theme — such as \"Activism,\" \"Style,\" or \"The Body\" — to explore how visual storytelling impacts global culture, politics, and technology. The publication was known for its high production values, evolving through various physical formats before settling into a chunky, book-like aesthetic on tactile, uncoated paper. Though regular production ceased in 2021, it remains a definitive archive for the industry, featuring contributions from world-class image-makers and maintaining a legacy as the preeminent voice for the \"illustrated image.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-literary Logic\u2028An Interview With Brad Holland \u2028By Jo Davies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMapping The Terrain\u2028: Four Illustration Collectives \u2028By Lydia Fulton.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnrolled And Glued: Chilean Street Art\u2028 By Rodney Palmer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKveta Pacovska:\u2028 By Wendy Coates Smith.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeated Debate:\u2028Sentimentalising Nature \u2028By John O’reilly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Compelling Image \u2028Chosen By Jonathan Ellery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeddling Fast Food As Fine Dining: \u2028A Visual Essay By Dust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Art Of Self-promotion\u2028 By Rod Hunt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: \u003c\/b\u003eFine\/Near Fine.
