Annotations

OVO 8 was first published in 1991. The information on page two is accurate but it is unlikely that any of the addresses seen elsewhere in this issue are still valid.

ovo0801 - Cover. This manipulated image of a crop circle appeared eleven years before M. Night Shyamalan's film Signs.

Satellite – Specimen sheet of the lost Satellite font for the Commodore 64. Not in the original printing of OVO 8 but circa that time.

ovo0802 and ovo0803 – Where's OVO? I had a strong if mistaken sense that OVO needed to be 'for' or 'about' something, and I thought that others shared this feeling. OVOfile was to be a placeholder until I produced a more worthy issue, but in the end I was the only one really paying attention. OVO is again described as a collection of loose leaf pages to be bound and amended by the reader. The free downloads at our Web site make this possible, over ten years later.

ovo0804 through ovo0809 – My Struggle. This is the only known review of Mark Mothersbaugh's book My Struggle.

ovo0810 – Contacts.

ovo0811 – Advertisements. The only published example of the Satellite font.

ovo0812 through ovo0815 – Catalogue. This catalogue states that some issues of OVO would not be reprinted; clearly, they have. The 'Heretics Second Guide to the Bible' became 'A Call to Heresy,' and was posted on a BBS in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Image on ovo0814 was reprinted in Mike Gunderloy's book The World of Zines (Penguin Books, 1992, page 9). That image and the image on on ovo0815 were produced on the Commodore 64 computer.

ovo0816 – Back Cover. This copy kindly donated by the recipient for this project.

TTF – Cover to issue one of The Tennessee File. This cover printed May 1989, 4 pages, 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches. Second issue October 1989, one hundred copies, 12 pages, 8.5 inches by 7 inches. A short lived anarchist pen-pal club for prisoners.

RST – Cover to an edition of Revolutionary Self Theory by Raul Vanageim. All editions 12 pages, 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches. May 1990, June 1990, March 1991.
