Title: Tim Rucks 'Behind Bars' Zine
Post by: the_cyclops on July 07, 2007, 10:41 PM: Anyone remember this?

I got a couple of the first copies off Tim but they have long since disappeared. I think John Dye did some of the art work for him!

I'd love to see a copy again (if anyone has one to scan) All I can remember about it is how Tim had an obsession with Hugo Gonzales :uglystupid2:

There was even the hand written letter from Tim when he sent it to me. It was written by his mate "death" cos Tim was too drunk to write.

Tim was/is cool! I used to love his mini ramp style and also those 'Hard Times' clothes he did...I had a couple of those shirts

I remember going on a photoshoot with Death around Southsea lawcourts many years ago! (i'd forgotten about him till you mentioned it!)

Get your copies of Behind Bars scanned up!

The Boarding House is still going? man, I should probably know that in my job. Ha. That's cool though.
