The World According to Vice

Author(s): Vice Magazine

Comics & Cartoons

Vice magazine started out as a reaction against the humourless self-righteousness at the end of the nineties; against people who talked loudest and didn't know WTF they were talking about. Then it started publishing magazines dedicated to one theme - from Poverty to Cops - with more immersive journalism and longer reviews, like, huge ones. It went around the world taking in sex, drugs, punk, Iraq, Liberia, Pakistan, Swansea and donk. Then threw it back out with a large dose of sarcastic humour, and smiled sweetly when they called it 'hipster'. It's time to find our for yourself. Welcome to the world of Vice. You'll like it.

Product Information

'VICE has built a small empire out of a raw, ironic sensibility, risque photographs, and a willingness to deal in taboo subjects.' New York Times

VICE Magazine was founded in Montreal in 1994 and has grown into one of the biggest brands in magazine publishing, with offices in twenty-four cities worldwide. Its unique blend of irreverence, sardonic humour, investigative journalism and photography has carved its own niche in the cultural landscape. More recently it has been a digital pioneer, with the Viceland website and the hugely influential VBS TV which has produced documentaries on Liberia, North Korea, the dance music phenomenon 'donk', HEAVY METAL IN BAGHDAD and most recently SWANSEA LOVE SONG. And if that was not enough, there is also Vice Records.
