Helou Kaet & Son n10-(Fanzine-Joukkomurha Products-Finland-199?)

Very cool fanzine edited and distributed by Jupe Luoma,who was into mail art,zines making and running the label Joukkormurha Tapes and  the sublabel JM Tapes.
I posted quite few tapes by this finnish label,you`ll find them here. 
This fanzine has few articles,short stories,some poetries,lots of nice graphix works and comics and more random stuff.
Some writings are in Finnish and  other stuff in English.  
It is a really nice zine and it is a pity I can only read half of it as I am not finnish literate.
Enjoy it.
