“What will make the new issue of Ralph stand out on the newsstands?” We wondered. Putting a guy wearing a bag on his face on the cover of course! The brilliant, award-winning, best-selling podcaster/writer/multi-disciplinary artist Blindboy Boatclub questions reality itself for our cover feature. The rest of the magazine is packed: comedy editor Alex Haddow catches up with fellow stand up Tatty Macleod, Little White Lies editor David Jenkins imagines an HR job interview with iconic Japanese auteur Takeshi Kitano about his incredible CV, we go to pop sensations Say Now’s house for a cuppa; we look at the rise of anime creators in India; Tank Girl Co-creator Alan Martin teaches us how to write a cult comic and loads more.

Ralph Issue 2, where we go to Nashville with multi Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Tayla Parx, do a scarecrow fashion feature with British Vogue editor Giles Hattersley, go to the brilliant Lord of the Rings show 'You Shall Not Yass', speak to J-Pop band f5ve, review goth cocktails and cheap perfumes, lie down with stand up Cat Cohen, look at amazing band T-shirts, deep dive on South Asian hip-hop, check out the art of Naoshima Island and loads more.

Ralph Issue 1, where we ask Flavor Flav what the weather’s like where he is, get the showrunner of The Simpsons to tell us what fast food items Bart, Homer, Lisa, Ned Flanders et al would be, find out why Japan’s music has been influencing the West for decades, get the inside line on chef Olivia Tiedemann’s best New York pizza spots, have pints with buzzy band Fat Dog, do a fashion shoot at Mumbai Comic Con and tons more.
