EVEN WHEN IT MAKES NO SENSE

There are reports of a magazine entitled FARBEN that may be a Broken Flag publication. Subjects included are squassation, prossneck, necrophilia, incest, and so on. Supposedly Philip Best was involved in the magazine's production.

Tommy C. adds: Farben #1 is a neatly produced 16 page A5 affair. Subjects covered are anal intercourse, paedophilia, incest, Dr. L. Pazder, The Unification Church, Son of Sam, the Auxonne nuns, Catalepsy, Peter Sutcliffe and Lizzie Borden... Also a nice hate-letter from Club Moral's DDV is included. This is the only issue I have seen of Farben, and as far as I know there was no #2. The last Broken Flag magazine that I have is one called Even When It Makes No Sense. This one appears to have been published sometime late 1985. By far the most interesting of the bunch, this contains pieces written by Jonathan Briley, Giancarlo Toniutti, Paul Lemos, Coup De Grace, Nails of Christ. Artwork by Ferial Confine, a longer piece on Gurdjieff (anon.), ”Difficult Music” by John Smith (Interchange magazine) and some Toll stuff. Good one. 22 pages, A5.

Kristian Olsson generously donated scans of the magazine mentioned above. The scans are large, so they are presented here one page at a time, cover to cover.
