Scam: The First Four Issues!

Here we go. I was very excited when I heard that this was coming out. Having first discovered Scam #5, Scam has become one of my favorite zines of all time, comparable maybe only to the mighty Cometbus. Every time I read Scam, it puts me in a good mood. Iggy Scam is a master at making something out of nothing. Inspirational how-to guide for living the squatter lifestyle, and how to get by without the need for money through the art of Scamming. Above all, how to have fun while doing it. Truly great stuff here. Most takes place in South Florida during the early '90s, a time when the Florida punk was very small but very devoted and tight-knit. Although somewhat regional by nature, Scam's Iggy manages to travel, either by hitchhiking or train hopping, and retells the stories here in all of their underhanded, Scam-worthy details. Highly, highly recommended, along with the other issues 5-9.
