Plastikcomb Magazine 2.0 | Crowdfunding Now on In Perpetuum

posted by Robyn Pitts April 27, 2021

Recently launched on our brand new crowdfunding platform for independent publications, In Pereptuum, is Plastikcomb Magazine (PCM) 2.0. The publication is a biannual alternative art magazine that explores experimental editorial design based on featured artist’s work.

PCM’s founder is self-taught artist and graphic designer, Aaron Beebe, who decided to create his own magazine after being constantly rejected by publications and galleries. Heavily influenced by RayGun, Aaron frames the magazine’s editorial content in a chaotic, abstract style, with a main focus on featuring artists’ work, short stories, and thoughtful interviews.

PCM 1.0 was released in November 2020 and was designed by Aaron, along with Thomas Schostok, who lives 3,292 miles away in Essen, Germany. They produced the magazine solely through texts and emails. Their first issue was voted one of the top 10 self-published magazines in 2021 by Adobe and PAGE Magazine (Germany).

PCM 2.0 is the perfect publication for those who crave the certain aesthetically pleasing layouts and content of publications from the past. The 40 page zine will be PUR bound and litho printed CMYK by Pressision Creative Print & Finishers, and will feature the work of artists including Iain Perry, Ed Fella, and Anthony Grant, to name a few.

As part of this special campaign, we have put together a series of exclusive rewards for you to grab in addition to or as part of your magazine preorder. Rewards include getting your name printed inside its page, a luxury sticker pack, an enamel pin, and a poster!
