Shock Is Here! Shock Is Here!

Hachette’s Shock magazine may not be making its official debut until May 30, but we got our hands on a copy late last night. Notable in its $1.99 cover price and lack of ads — a shockingly thin four ad pages, including JVC, Girls Gone Wild and an adult text message service — it’s pretty much what we expected: 96 pages of blood, rotting corpes, civilians on fire, KKK kids, and Jessica Simpson giving us the finger.

They did manage to publish some scandalous celebrity pics we’ve never seen before, like Val Kilmer licking — yes licking — Paris Hilton; and a 1998 shot of a geeked-out Kate Moss in a Cape Town, South Africa hotel room … next to five four lines of cocaine.
