Behind Bars is a 131-page slash Oz anthology with all color interior illos.
From the zine:
Oz. Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary. Oswald Correctional Facility-Level Four. Home to some of the worst offenders society has to offer, Oz is hard time for hardcases. And from Adebisi to Zabitz, to Em City's own Luke & Laura, every inmate has a story to tell. Not to mention, those homdog staffers, McManus and Howell. So forget you're in Kansas, follow the yellow brick road, and spend some time in Em City. One friendly word of warning before you start. Stay out of the Copy Room o' Death.NO YELLING
NO FUCKING
NO MISSPELLED WORDS
The world is full of rules and BEHIND BARS is no different. Here's a special thanks from the Warden to the following grammar hacks who helped make BB the best zine it can be: Carin, Data, Grackle, Mary.
