Dodgem Logic 1 to 8 - Alan Moore material only When the first issue of Alan Moore's underground magazine Dodgem Logic was published in 2009, I bought it, scanned it and uploaded it on demonoid along with a rip of the free CD that came with it and a few extras. Four months later I received the following e-mail: To Whom it may concern, My name is Joe and I'm the assistant editor of Dodgem Logic. I would appreciate it if you removed any scans of Dodgem Logic magazine you have made from the internet. This includes any bit torrents and the like you may be responsible for. While I appreciate that people are interested in Alan's work, the magazine itself is not out of print and available internationally from our website. We at the magazine run on a not-for-profit basis, with any money generated going to local worthy causes. If everybody can get scans and read the magazine for free we will not be able to continue to run it. You would be partially to blame. Thanks, Joe I decided to comply and deleted my torrent, because basically I agreed with what the e-mail says. I felt that the project needed and deserved support, and though my torrent had undoubtedly provided free publicity, its continued existence could have damaged sales. Now that the magazine is on an indefinite hiatus, I've decided to release this torrent collecting just Moore's contributions to the first 8 issues of the series here. If you want the full issues - and why wouldn't you? - I believe they are all still available at dodgemlogic.com at a very reasonable price. The more of you that support them in this way, the more likely we will one day see further issues. Also, my original torrent of the full first issue and extras has been re-uploaded by wilddiverse at http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2639474/7643684/ So, what's in this torrent?
