A New Treasure
TheCapt1701 | March 7, 2010Recently I managed to pick up a copy of the (apparently) super-rare copy of the September 2004 Russian edition of Rolling Stone magazine. This issue features the first, from what I can tell, “anime style†image of the Russian pop duo ‘Tatu’. I have been looking for this issue for a few years now and up until recently have never even seen a single copy listed on any site. I was actually to the point of thinking that it may not exist (even though it is clearly listed on the Russian Rolling Stone web site) given it was only the third issue of that countries’ version of the magazine which appears to have launched in July 2004. I don’t read Russian, so please correct me if you do.
As noted the cover features the pair (Lena Katina & Julia Volkova) in “anime/manga style†with a pregnant version of Julia. The issue also features a short “manga styled†story spanning four pages. You can see them here, here and here. There is no text so there is nothing to translate. This magazine ranks as one of the last few things that I have on my list of treasures I am still questing for.
Enjoy!!
