Zine: Sudden Impact
Issue: 2
Created by: Dave D'Andrea
Format: 8 1/2" x 11"
Where: Bristol, CT
When: 1990
I want to say this is highlight-reel Dave D'Andrea for overall zine content and creation. I've got the copies of Cold Turkey to see where he's come from, and while I somehow missed Sudden Impact's inaugural issue, number two is a proper how-do-you-do.
Notes: Cover photo... do you know how hard it is/was to kick flip that high on an era-appropriate setup? The trucks and wheels alone weigh 50 pounds.

The second issue of Cold Turkey from Dave D'Andrea is more of an art piece than the previous installment. No skateboarding, no bmx, no music reviews. Issue two is straight-up prose and art under the pseudonym "blue." Reading between the lines, I imagine this was a breakup issue. Hey, we've all been there, and sometimes that lost love manifests itself as copier toner, all over the paper.
Notes: The cover of this issue is one of my favorites. Simple, graphic, great copy machine texture, great photograph.
Zine: Cold Turkey

When: 1990
Zine from a cool cat in Connecticut, Dave D'Andrea. He did a number of zines (Cold Turkey, Stuntwood, Sudden Impact), but maybe it was all just the same zine with different names. They did change up quite a bit, but the Dave style was always the same D'Andrea.
Notes: This had to be from fall 1990 to possibly early spring 1991. The "thanks to" on page 4 references "my main man from Kansas and college man #2 Ryan." I was at University of Kansas at the time. Not 100% sure this is the same Dave, but internets searches seem to confirm the backstory somewhat. Please let me know if otherwise.
