Bare Bones is a terrific periodical that unearths "vintage, forgotten and overlooked" horror, sci fi, mystery, western, and just plain weird material from comics, pulps, films and television. The latest issue, number 8, offers a look at Damnation Alley by Matthew R. Bradley; Christopher Conlon's examination of Robert Bloch's Psycho and its sequels; Peter Enfantino's look back at William Ard's paperback western character, Tom Buchanan (as depicted on the cover); John Scoleri's review of the deluxe hardcover edition of Quentin Tarantino's novel of Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood; a survey of crime digests by Richard Krauss; David J. Schow's look at horror on LP; my own piece on Charlton's horror-fantasy comic books; and more.
I recommend all the issues of this magazine, especially for genre enthusiasts, as it covers material you won't find anywhere else in a scholarly and very entertaining fashion.
Bare Bones is available on amazon.
Looks like a beautiful magazine; is it in print as well as e-zine form?

Yes, it's only in print -- no ebook -- in glossy trade paperback format.
