Idolator

Arthur—the go-to magazine of choice for indie-rock mystics everywhere—looks to be back from the dead. Earlier this year, a rift between editor Jay Babcock and publisher Laris Kreslins led to an announcement that the magazine was "paring down operations." But yesterday, Babcock posted a note on I Love Music claiming that he had regained ownership of the title.

Arthur has been recalled to life.

I bought Laris's 50 percent interest in the magazine thanks to the efforts of family and friends.

Now I own 100% and am moving forward with all Arthur activities as quickly as possible.

Apologies for the interruption in service.

To celebrate the occasion, we've posted the whole ALAN MOORE ON PORNOGRAPHY piece from Arthur Magazine V1 N25 online on our Magpie blog.

Now that's how you bring a magazine back to life: No Sarah Jessica Parker photos, no Tom Cruise Photoshop sessions—just a 12,000-word essay on smut from the guy who wrote Watchmen.
