Description
Maggot Brain is the full-color, quarterly brainchild of chief editor, Mike McGonigal. McGonigal brings over 40 years experience to the magazine, including as music editor for the Detroit Metro Times. Thoughtful, incisive, and beautiful to look at, Maggot Brain is also stubbornly print-only, meaning we couldn’t wait to get our paws on these physical copies.
