All Hail the 'Zine
Zines have come back in a big way; zines never left. I remember seeing my first ‘zine when I was 14 and a freshman in high school. One of the seniors passed me a photocopied pamphlet with a muttered, “keep it to yourself.” I immediately shared it with my little cabal of would-be gonzo journalists and we poured over it, guessing which one of our junior or senior class idols had done what illustration or written whatever screed about the school, teachers, the government, or just the man. Damn the man. Eventually I made my own.
Now, shit man, ‘zines are a thing again and I am once again making ‘zines.
Some links:
- Dirty Little Zine is templates for making your own zines.
- Dirty Little Library is a place to put those zines and to trade with other filthy little gonzos.
- Zine Exchange Club is just what it sounds like.
