Encyclopedia
Flux Magazine was a short-lived magazine
in the mid-1990s which focused on music (mostly hard rock
and hip-hop
), comic books and video games. The magazine was bi-monthly and lasted for seven issues. It was presented as an edgier alternative to magazines such as EGM
and GamePro
. Notable recurring departments included "Don't Ever Do This," which offered explicit instructions for pranks and antisocial behavior, and "Babewatch," which was merely photos of attractive females from TV shows, movies, and comic books.
Amongst its editors was Dan Amrich
, who would go on to write for GamePro
for several years under the moniker of Dan Elektro. Comics reviews were written by Christopher Golden
, who would later write comics himself, as well as horror and fantasy novels.
