A movie magazine that loves illustration, Beneficial Shock! showcases personal responses to some of the world’s most beloved films. That means illustrators aren’t just asked to contribute their images – they also write about the movies that have most influenced their lives and work. This issue is themed ‘Journeys and Destinations’, with contributors reflecting on all types of travel, from road trips to emotional journeys to psychological adventures.

 
In this issue:

• Slacker as a reminder that not all journeys need to follow a straight line
• Illustrators create their own posters for time-travelling movies
• Remembering The Blues Brothers’ madcap road trip
• Trips Through Time – an abridged chronology of psychedelics on screen
• And artist Andy DeGraff presents his Cinemaps, which painstakingly map the routes that characters take through iconic movies
