The second issue of P.C. Casualties was edited by Mark Freitas. This issue featured an interview with Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle of the British punk band Buzzcocks. fiction by Scott Pierce, articles on Martin Denny and Exotica, techno rave culture, and not breeding, as well as art work and collage.
