About the Cover: For our 30th Anniversary Edition, Robin Banks depicts people in our scene reading current and past SLUG magazines while listening to our local music. Death By Salt compilation series. Its punky color palette jibes with SLUG's continual endeavors to celebrate our community's cultural fringes.
