I did in the past a couple of times. Back in the 70's I subscribed to FAMOUS MONSTERS.

In the 90's I subscribed to PSYCHOTRONIC VIDEO until it folded.
I even had 2 letters printed and contributed to an articale in #37, 2002!

If you look real close at the beginning of the text, you can see me name!
(I found out later that AFTER HOURS mag sells for a lot of money. I never got it back, either. :bluesad:




"Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

Yes, 2000AD for several years. I still have them.
Your kisses turn princes into frogs and passion plays into monologues.

When I was a little kid and in the scouts, I got Boys Life.
When I was a bit older than that, I got Wizard Magazine. 

Other than those two, I just bought magazines off the stands.

A long time ago I subscribed to ESPN the magazine. 
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Lots of 'em. Most notably for this forum



I stopped subscribing a decade ago but I think they are still going today.

pretty sure I subscribed to THE BEANO as a kid. I definitely had the dennis the menace membership wallet and a gnasher badge

also seem to remember subscribing to OINK!... a fairly subversive comedy kids' mag

please do not mock my potato.

Sure. I used to subscribe to a lot, now....not. I also own almost every National Geographic of the 20th century in print form, but despise what's been done with the journal over the last fifteen years, and no longer even read the modern iteration.

Magazines may become like vinyl records soon: hip, outside, valued again.

I subscribed to TIME for about fifteen years (even had a letter published in it once), and also to a hobby publication called INDIAN ARTIFACT MAGAZINE.
Still subscribe to PREHISTORIC AMERICAN.

That was the one!!!  I was a bit of a firebrand in those days.

I had subscriptions to Rolling Stone and Penthouse for a while in the early 90s.

The RS sub was a Christmas gift from a well meaning relative who must have thought "He loves that rock 'n 'roll music, so he'll like this!" even though RS had nothing but contempt for my favorite style of music (hard rock/metal) and therefore I despised it with every fiber of my being (and still do).

The Penthouse sub was a gift to myself, if you know what I mean (wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more). :D

At one time my wife subscribed to Rachael Ray's magazine and Entertainment Weekly but those subs lapsed a long time ago.

If you were getting Penthouse and didn't like Rolling Stone (and who does?), I'm surprised you didn't try Spin, which was put out by the same people, and usually much better.
