Cover of Wrapped In Plastic #30 – The Unseen Twin Peaks!
The classic Twin Peaks fanzine created by John Thorne (now at BRM) and the late Craig Miller ran from 1993 until 2005 and covered everything Twin Peaks and David Lynch (and after a while, some of The X-Files) through interviews (DAVID LYNCH! MARK FROST!), essays (“Dreams of Deer Meadow”), and in-depth analyses. Contributing editor John Mitchell recently took on the task to scan and convert all of WIP to eBook so everyone can download the legendary magazine to their phones or tablets at just $2.99 per issue, instead of $10+ each as they then to go on eBay.

Wrapped in Plastic Magazine was a bi-monthly magazine devoted to analysis and critique of the works of David Lynch and other artists associated with the television series, Twin Peaks. WIP regularly featured in-depth analyses of films (and other projects) by Lynch, interviews with Twin Peaks actors, writers, and producers, news on projects by Lynch and other TP alum, a letters column, and news on the television series The X-Files.
The biggest thrill of my career was seeing my name on the cover of the final issue of ‘Wrapped in Plastic’ below those of David Lynch, Mark Frost, Catherine Coulson, Bob Engels, and Mary Sweeney. I almost didn’t answer the phone when Thorne or Miller (I wish I could remember who I spoke to) called to tell me they were publishing my article because my hands were covered in gnocchi dough.
That’s awesome! I usually say that I’m late to the party; I bought ‘The Entire Mystery’ Blu-ray set from 2014 despite having never watched the series. A few years later and a full rewatch under my belt, I’ve recently begun to enjoy the info & analysis provided by fans and reviewers across media platform; Mark Frost’s books, online essays on forums, & podcasts. Once you’re calibrated to “Twin Peaks” and it’s story, it’s fun to read this type of content since it allows you to learn of different aspects of the series & suddenly you can see everything in a new light. I’ve always been a fan of physical media, but with this magazine being rare, it’s nice to have digital access.
This is great. I’d love to see them all bundled up with a discount to save time buying each one!
