Pandora's Box - Limited Edition Bumper Zine

**THIS IS A PRE-ORDER LISTING. THE ZINE WILL BE SENT OUT AS SOON AS IT IS READY**

Each zine is signed and numbered.

Biographical zine charting the formative years of London graffiti writer Puno – AKA Marcus Barnes.

In 2015, Marcus won an historic court case brought by the British Transport Police against him and his magazine Keep The Faith. The investigation, named Operation Pandora, sought to prosecute Marcus for "Encouraging the Commission of Criminal Damage" via two issues of his magazine.

Coincidentally, Marcus has always referred to the moment he learned the true meaning of graffiti as "Opening Pandora's Box". This 76-page zine explores his early years – from sketching in his bedroom and roaming the capital taking photos, to painting his first pieces on legal walls and later taking his art to the trains.

Featuring exclusive, never-before-seen photos and stories, the zine depicts a bygone era before the internet and social media took hold – a time when being out there in the real world was the only way to be seen and heard.

Serving as a time capsule, it offers historic context and unique insight into the ink-stained, paint-drenched life of a young man who went on to make history in British law.
