Boys Don't Cry: Frank Ocean

Frank Ocean – Boys Don’t Cry
Limited Edition Magazine / Zine – First Released August 2016

Frank Ocean’s Boys Don’t Cry is more than a magazine—it’s a cultural artifact. Released alongside his groundbreaking visual album Endless and just before the drop of Blonde, this limited-run zine marked Ocean’s return after a four-year hiatus. Featuring original poetry, photography, essays, and contributions from artists like Kanye West, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Tyler, The Creator, Boys Don’t Cry offers an intimate glimpse into Frank’s creative universe.

The zine includes:

• A full alternate tracklist of Blonde

• Personal essays and lyrics

• Visual art and photography curated and produced by Ocean himself

• Collaborations with artists, designers, and writers across disciplines

Originally distributed exclusively at pop-up shops in cities like New York, Los Angeles, London, and Chicago, copies have since become highly sought-after collectibles.

Edition Notes:

• Softcover, full-color print

• Approx. 360 pages

• No reprints; original 2016 edition

Whether you’re a fan of Frank’s music, a design collector, or a cultural archivist, Boys Don’t Cry is a must-own piece from one of the most enigmatic artists of our time.
