THE END WAS NIGH.
REVELATION MAGAZINE
Revelation, the magazine of apocalyptic art and literature, made its debut in September of 2003. For nearly ten years, Revelation offered readers original writing and artwork of various genres and techniques from various authors in a traditional magazine format. The one constant holding together each eclectic issue was the looming threat of annihilation in each individual work.
The magazine is now out of print.
