The uniquely Anglo-Greek zine returns for its fourth edition—continuing to unravel queer Greek narratives, from ancient myth to present-day moments. 

Its title, The Boy is Beautiful, is lifted from a thousand year old vase inscription and still striking in its angular Greek-style typography, gesturing towards the ancient and reshaping it through a queer lens. The iconic terracotta cover remains, but this time softened: less contrast, more intimacy, more flesh. This issue, titled ‘Hold Me’, leans into warmth and tenderness in times that ask for softness as much as strength. In the middle—colour printed and pale blue pages nestled within the monochrome, almost as if being held.
