Evil Knievel is a German collaborative that celebrates and mocks cocky American manliness as embodied by the famous stuntman of the same name. Being Evil Knievel is their hilariously biting zine. This first issue comes with a special edition entitled “Past Present Future.”

“Dressed as the American flag, in red, white and blue, Evil Knievel is the self-proclaimed incarnation of the American hero. Braveness, self-reliance, and independence are among the best of his virtues, virtues harnessed skillfully in a career driven by the unchallenged will to succeed. In an ever-developing series of lethal stunts Evil Knievel constantly proves his outstanding qualities. Celebrated today as the greatest daredevil in the history of American thrill shows, he is known not only for his deadly crashes, his numerous injuries, but equally for his ‘never-say-die’ attitude.”
