Publication
A little known fact, Deep Red started life in 1986 as a 20-page fanzine co-founded by Chris Amouroux and Chas. Balun. This premiere issue (often referred to as Deep Red issue 0) had a one-time print run of 600 copies. The cover features the Stuart Gordon film Re-Animator.
Deep Red as it is known today began regular publication in 1987 under the banner of FantaCo Enterprises Inc. Issue no. 1 featured a December 1987 publishing date and the cover is adorned with a still from Lucio Fulci's The Beyond.
The magazine saw two re-launches via Blackest Heart Media. Volume 2 debuted in 1997, with Lucio Fulci's The Beyond again displayed on the cover. A 15th Anniversary issue appeared in the fall of 2002 featuring the graphic impalement from Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust on the cover.

Famous quotes containing the word publication:
“Of all human events, perhaps, the publication of a first volume of verses is the most insignificant; but though a matter of no moment to the world, it is still of some concern to the author.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
