Clutch your credit-chips close and head on over to see what Polluto has on offer: a world of malls, stretching endlessly into one another. Systems of oppression, both real and fictional. Corporations of the future, Flooded London, money and privilege, a human life claimed for art. A mathematician feverishly tattooing his formulae onto prisoners of war. Workers on special offer: cheap-labour, clone-labour and corpse-labour. And bear in mind, valued customers, that nothing comes for free!

Slip your arms into that long, black trench-coat, tug down the rim of your hat, and load up on the rock salt; it's time to hunt some Witch. But careful, stalwart hero, as the danger of the Evil Red lies ever close. Keep your eyes peeled for signs of communism in our midst; hold the line against all urges and sexual desires; ward yourself against all that is feminine and female, for their wily ways will bewitch you! Stay vigilant, Witch-slayer, for the Red is everywhere: witches, zombies, blood, violence, sadism, magic, Mars, women, socialism, communism, even consumerism.

And while you're at it, set fire to those damn ruby slippers!

This issue we’re entering into the unknown and the otherworldly, exploring strange worlds and stranger beings--not to mention the twisted, terrifying depths of some of the weirdest authors’ minds.
Subversive and thought provoking? Yes. Crazy as a box of Buck Roger’s Intergalactic Fruit Loops? Most definitely. Dark, dreamy, and disgustingly depraved? Would it really be Polluto if it wasn’t?

Aliens, monsters, gods, dreams and nightmares; sex and transformation; strange worlds and the search for truth; death, blood and violence; the future of humanity; astrophobia, metatronians, sphere serpents and zombie amazons.

Prepare for the, erm, unexpected . . . and remember, in space no-one can hear you dream.

Polluto has packed a snorkel and will head to Atlantis for a quick visit to fight killer mermaids and their legions of underwater nasties. Unfortunately we forgot our passport and bank statements. Mind if we borrow yours?

Ed. by Victoria Hooper & Adam Lowe

£9.99

Cutlass-wielding youths in tweed suits prowl the dingy red light districts of Mars. Intrepid colonialist explorers hunt giant squid in the clockwork submarines of an alternate past . . . and Polluto rises from the mists, casting ghostly phosphorescence through the gloom, and calls you. It's time to reach out and take the fruit. It's time to wind yourself up and escape.

The toys want out and they're hungry for knowledge!
