NINETEEN NINETY-TWO. HOW OLD WERE YOU? THE FIRST THREE ISSUES OF BIG BROTHER. THE ORIGINAL STREET SKATE MAGAZINE

THAT PUBLISHED RICK

KOSICK AND SPIKE JONZE'S PICTURES AND WENT A

LONG WAY (SOME WOULD

SAY TOO FAR) TO BRINGING JACKASS INTO THE WORLD. IRREVERENT IS A POLITE

WAY OF PUTTING IT.

Spike Jonze cover photo. Classic first issue cover lines. Too much fun. 
 

Actually, it is pretty great. 
 

The publisher and editor was Steve Rocco. You can learn a lot about him (and the magazine) on this short YouTube clip.



It reads "this page is a test to see how clearly a video image prints out when blown up full size, because you never know what you can do until you try." Now, of course, you need a filter for that NTSC VHS effect. 

Patrick O'Dell made a documentary about Big Brother called Dumb. You can see the trailer for it here on this link. 
 

Second Spike Jonze cover for the second issue. Also 1992. From the small print on the inside: "BB. master of puppets, Isn't about cocaine addiction, it's about teenage girls." 
 

Dae Won Song three-sixty flipping his way through a noseslide and a fun summer night. 
 

This is Dae Won again making the cover of the 3rd issue. Totally incorrectly tagged as the 10th Anniversary Issue. Photo by Rick Kosick. The issue contains the very not-safe-for-2021 suicide feature 'How To Kill Yourself'. However, it also comes with collector cards :) So best choose life until that collection is complete. 
 

Said cards. Two of the five that come with this issue. From what we can tell there were 33 in total in the first issued set. Completists - you are on your way! 
 

Going commando. Out of Big Brother came Jackass and out of Jackass came the modern YouTube/TikTok/meme world as we know it. Damn. 

We have the first three issues of the legend amazine. Plus five collector cards :) Don't expect these earliest issues to come around again. They are tending toward the unfindable. 

Buy them now on the button below. Make yourself a museum. At least a display case for your bedroom.
