Excellent to see this archived on Libcom!
we only have one issue though at the moment so if you know anyone who has an archive let us know!
Sparrows Nest does. I gave them a few back issues from no 1 onwards. Think they've got the whole set now.
I've just had a very quick look at the Sparrows' Nest website and I can see a reference to Virus magazine being scanned but I couldn't find a direct link to the publication. I did only take a quick look though.
I've got hold of some issues of Virus ( multiple copies) yesterday from the attic of the old flat in central London of Colin Parker. Can pass copies on to libcom. PM me.
Virus has to be the best ever title for an anarchist communist mag.
Hi rat, thanks for that. Looking at their website they just have a few bits and pieces scanned
that would be great. I'll get in touch when I have some time in the next couple of weeks
Even better now with the internet connotation of 'viral'.
apparently they stopped using it because of the HIV-AIDS epidemic and the resultant connotations with the word "virus"
I'd forgotten that but yes, that was one reason we changed the name.
