Toxic magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toxic magazine was launched in September 2002 by London-based Egmont UK. The intention being to address the elusive boy's magazine market. By including reviews of DVD's, PC games, movies, sport features and the like, combined with irreverent toilet humour, the magazine proved to be very successful. Toxic is "edited" by Team Toxic, a group of creatures under the supervision of Doc Shock. (Although in reality, Toxic is edited by Matt Yeo). Designed by the cartoonist Jon Rushby Team Toxic also appear in a regular two page comic strip in the magazine, written and drawn by Lew Stringer. Other strips include Grott the Mighty by Nigel Kitching and Rex written by John A. Short and drawn by Alex Paterson.
Initially launched as a monthly title, Toxic increased frequency to every three weeks with issue 14, then to fortnightly with issue 34.
Despite its title, it has no connection with the comic Toxic! which appeared in the 1990's.
Another magazine by the same name was launched in January 2005 with a focus on content for men. That Toxic magazine is currently being published as a major online publication since February 2006.
