Catalogue note
UK VICE Volume 1 Number 10, The Heroes Issue, a free-distribution issue built around a deliberately unstable definition of heroism. Its contents move between satirical self-heroisation, Michael Moore, punk survival, Baltimore club vocalists, unconventional family stories, sexual violence survival, porn performers, gaming and subcultural figures. Terry Richardson supplies the cover photograph. The rear Grand Theft Auto Double Pack advertisement, promoting Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City immediately before the Xbox release on 2 January 2004, adds a strong period marker for early-2000s gaming and youth culture.
