The long-awaited reprint of Pinball Magazine No. 2 is finally here: 192 full-color pages, all printed on high-quality glossy paper.

The cover story focuses on not one, but two special guests. It spotlights the career of pinball designer Dennis Nordman (White Water, Pirates of the Caribbean, Blackwater 100, Party Animal, Indianapolis 500 and other titles). Dennis is joined by graphic artist Greg Freres. The two of them joined forces on Elvira and the Party Monsters, Dr. Dude, The Party Zone, Scared Stiff, and Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons. In this issue they discuss Dennis’ career in pinball and share some fascinating inside stories and insights about the pinball industry.

The magazine is packed with exclusive photos provided by both Dennis and Greg. You'll find images of what Dennis originally had in mind for the chest in Pirates of the Caribbean, Dennis' original mockups for White WaterTransformers and Big Buck Hunter, early artwork and sketches for Elvira and the Party Monsters and Dr. Dude and lots more.

Besides the cover story, the number of side articles has also gone up. This time Pinball Magazine brings you nine articles/interviews covering a wide range of topics: Stern investor Dave Peterson talks about why he stepped in, Martin Ayub discusses the history of the number 1 news website Pinball News, Rob Berk and Mike Pacak talk about the history of Pinball Expo, the Silverball Museum in New Jersey is looked at and then there is still more. See the content listing below to get the complete picture.
