Globally renowned action sports & culture magazine Monster Children this week launches its 50th Issue, a milestone for the independent magazine established in Australia in 2003. The specially curated Issue 50 is based around the notion of ‘Heroes’ and features exclusive interviews with 50 individuals that Monster Children love and admire.
The diverse list of Heroes ranges from 80-year-old shark expert Valerie Taylor AM and film legend David Lynch to renowned designer and typographer Stefan Sagmeister and up and coming Australian actress Odessa Young.
