Pinball Magazine No. 2 is here!
« on: June 28, 2013, 06:43:30 AM »
Pinball Magazine No. 2 is here: 188 full color glossy pages.

This Issue focuses on two special guests. The cover story spotlights the career of pinball designer Dennis Nordman (White Water, Pirates of the Caribbean, Blackwater 100, Party Animal, Indianapolis 500 and other titles).

Dennis is joined by graphic artist Greg Freres. The two of them joined forces on Elvira and the Party Monsters, Dr. Dude, The Party Zone, Scared Stiff and Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons. In this issue they discuss Dennis’ career in pinball and share some fascinating inside stories and insights about the pinball industry.

The magazine is packed with exclusive photos provided by both Dennis and Greg. You'll find images of what Dennis originally had in mind for the chest in Pirates of the Caribbean, Dennis' original mockups for White Water, Transformers and Big Buck Hunter, early artwork and sketches for Elvira and the Party Monsters and Dr. Dude and lots more.

People who are close to Dennis and Greg have added color as well: pinball designers John Popadiuk and Steve Ritchie, graphic artists Pat McMahon, Doug Watson and John Youssi, sound designer Chris Granner, technical right hands Mark Weyna and Ken Walker and Multimorphic’s Gerry Stellenberg.

Roger Sharpe, who was spotlighted in Issue 1, also wrote a contribution and we were able to compile an interview with Cassandra ‘Elvira’ Peterson.

There are plenty of other articles too. We felt the balance between the cover story and the other articles in Issue 1 wasn't quite right, so this time the emphasis is on more variety.

Here’s what you'll find:
- Custom Games: Wade Krause and Dirty Donny comment on their Beatniks Koolsville game.
- An interview with Dave Peterson, head of the investment group that bought stern Pinball in 2009.
- Randy Perlow and Chris Enright talk on how they created ColorDMD.
- Pinball News editor Martin Ayub talks about the history of the No. 1 news website pinballnews.com
- Bobby King talks about the success and future plans of popular game/app The Pinball Arcade
- Rob Berk and Mike Pacak talk about the history of, and organizing, the longest running annual pinball show: Pinball Expo
- Founder Robert Ilvento talks about The Silverball Museum in Asbury Park, NJ
- Paul Rubens contributed a story about a huge arcade find on an abandoned ship
- Nic Parks talks about The Pinball Company, supplying completely restored pinball machines for the high end of the market
- As a remarkable accessory Darren Brehm discusses his Pinball Armor
- Who’s working on what?
- And much, much more!

Long story short: Pinball Magazine No. 2 is even more of a book than Issue 1 already was.

More info on http://www.pinball-magazine.com.

The first chapter of the Dennis Nordman interview will be published on pinball-magazine.com in 3 parts. I still have to add some pics, but the text of part 1/3 is already available: http://www.pinball-magazine.com/?p=1181. Other previews are coming soon.

Jonathan, ordered mine last night. Once again, postage is a shocker (not your fault) but the packagaging and magazine are first rate - credits to you.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

Ordered the 2 mag deal just now. #*#

Postage was 13.76 euro, but I can't complain too much when the Aussie $ is on the slide. Damn be to all those things I was going to buy when the $ was around $1.06, but decided to hold off a while ^&^ ^&^
