 There are, I think, decidedly few artistic publications whose mascot is a sock monkey, and whose issue titles (and concurrent themes) have spanned everything from purple cows to going green.
There are probably even fewer that have as auspicious a mission statement as providing "a platform for creative young people to share their vision of the world" in concurrence with the quirkiness mentioned above.
Intrepid Press is a 'zine (the word being adapted from "magazine," but, in particular, meaning an independent production usually a bit smaller than a mainstream magazine) for young artists — writers, poets, photographers, graphic artists — anyone who can make something that can be printed on a page.
The first thing you need to know about Intrepid Press is that it was not simply started to get kids off the street or keep them out of trouble. That may be a beneficial side effect, but it really exists to furnish a vehicle for young people to convey their ideas, their art, their "vision of the world."
So it should come as no surprise that if you're looking for an activity where your kids are kept busy by sharp-eyed taskmasters, Intrepid Press is not the place to take them...

 Deep within the recesses of the quaint little community-within-a-community that is Marysville's D Street, there lies an innocuous-looking establishment with a red brick façade, bearing, in golden art nouveau-styled lettering, the name Amicus Books.
But, dear reader, be not deceived by this place's friendly appearance or name (as "amicus," translated from the Latin, means "friend"). For within its walls, this outwardly ordinary independent bookstore shelters a ragtag band of the most unrepentant revolutionaries.
Calling themselves collectively Intrepid Press, these artistic deviants — all between the ages of 16 and 23 — rally beneath the banner of the overarching "Stolen Sharpie Revolution," whose manifesto is the eponymous book by Alex Wrekk: a seditious work, which details methods to disseminate independent publications free from the influence of corporate sponsors.
