No Pants, No Badge, No Gun

No Pants, No Badge, No Gun was published in April 1985 by April Valentine’s Amapola Press. We’re posting a listing of the contents, with links to whatever material we can archive. Archived contents will also be listed under individual authors.

The cover of No Pants, No Badge, No Gun showed a drawing of Hutch’s apartment building, Venice Place. In the window can be seen the shadows of Starsky & Hutch. The window was actually a cut-out, and the shadows were part of the cartoon drawing on the next page.

 

The zine contained an editorial, 11 stories, 8 poems, 11 art pieces (not counting the cover and inner cartoon), and a page of ads for upcoming zines.

We will be linking material here from the zine as we archive it.
