Well, the definition of comely is ‘good looking’ or ‘attractive’, and this new magazine by Adeline Media certainly ticks those boxes.
oh comely (keep your curiosity sacred) is a strange publication however. Cover lines are scribbled, layouts are minimalist, capital letters are banned and features tend to be written in the first person by interesting folk who have had strange jobs, and plenty to say about them. The website says the magazine is about “people, their quirks and creativity”. And although it all looks beautiful, there just seems to be something missing. I flicked through the pages and most of it was pleasing to the eye, but I couldn’t help thinking the content was unsustainable and without direction. However, I do like the idea that the magazine seems to have been put together by a bunch of enthusiastic individuals, who have really given the magazine a tone of voice. They will have their followers.
