 | | A paper version of a revived Creem, the caustic, scruffy, street-smart fanzine that defined rock in the 1970s, is due to return to newsstands this summer, according to the notorious magazine's newest honchos. |
 | | Critic Lester Bangs, the icon who put Creem on the map with his uppers-and-downers-fueled rants on the Clash, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, is long since dead, but the Creem name is still alive, and Detroit, the Midwest monster of rock music, is perhaps the ideal place to restore the magazine's relevance. |
 | | Creem was sold in 1988, sanitized beyond recognition and, after some feeble comeback attempts out of Los Angeles and New York, folded in the early '90s. |
