The original and scarce 1999 edition of Issue Six of the amazing Crap Hound magazine by the brilliant designer Sean Tejaratchi. This issue's focus is images of death, telephones and scissors. Crap Hound was a monumental feat of compilation. Also includes typography sample pages for Astro, Regicide, Lumberboy and Huffman. And the fake television listings at the back are very funny.
