Beneficial Shock! Issue 4 : War & Peace

We are Pics & Ink - a new way of buying interesting and unusual magazines, the type most people can’t find in their local newsagent.

The internet is great, it means we can access pretty much anything from pretty much anywhere. Magazines have yet to benefit from this. We aren’t about reading magazines online because we really like the touch, smell and beauty of great paper.

So let us be your guide through the world of independent magazines. We’ll tell you about them, show you a few pages, then we will pack them up very carefully and post them to your door.

Beneficial Shock! Issue 4: War & Peace

Statistics indicate that of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8% of recorded history.

This makes it plainly apparent that our penchant for brutality is very much at odds with a desire to live in peace and harmony. It's not all doom and gloom however, as to counter every act of terror, torture or takeover there is a redeeming act of courageous heroism.

Movies let us experience these dichotomies from the safety of a cinema seat – seeing the ebb and flow of conflict and resolution at arms length. But what can we learn from these films that can inspire a change of behaviour?

We're hoping that the wide and varied collection of features and comics in this issue will provide some insights into our particularly volatile human condition. From alien invasions and the motivations of cinematic deserters, to the ties that bind crime families together and the topical relevance of Casablanca in contemporary America, it's time to head for the front line to see what we're all made of.
