'1-900-660-GALS' by No Bad NewsRisograph zine. Edition of 75.
About the Project‘1-900-660-GALS’ celebrates 80s women's wrestling phenomenon 'GLOW' the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Through the combined visuals of the four talented artists of No Bad News, colourful characters, strong women, and over-the-top comedy sketches are brought to light in this once-off publication packed with action.
Famously, most of the performers on the television show’s all-women roster of wrestlers were actresses, models, dancers or stunt women hoping to enter show business. The zine captures their larger than life characters and memorable moments by visualising several of the choreographed bouts seen on the show.
A huge, stylistic spectrum of typography, graphics and illustration, with fluorescents and overlays capturing the 1980’s aesthetic that was so integral to the show, and considered finishing details added to the zine which embrace the risograph print process wholeheartedly.
