    I’ve been big into zines lately and the Internet is loaded with info on zines past and present. I’m more so interested in the old-fashioned, do-it-yourself paper zines, but webzines are cool, too.

    I’m part of a Ning group called We Make Zines and I put the call out for anyone who wanted to pimp their zine to shoot me an email with the specifics.

    Here’s what’s come in so far and a few I’ve added.

    Consider supporting the independent press by visiting the links below and grabbing yourself a copy or two of the following:

    The Horror Fiction Review

    This quarterly webzine dedicated to reviewing horror fiction, interviews, stories.

    The Blackglove

    This webzine dedicated to the horror community and the genre’s culture

    Noisy! Fanzine

    Music fanzine about the live and unsigned alternative music scene in the county of Essex, U.K. The latest issue comes with a 15 track CD of musicians featured in past issues.

    On Lives Subway Supplement

    The Subway Supplement was originally intended for subway readers. But don’t let the name mislead you. It is a collection of ten insightful and tightly written essays by Michael Parish and ten vibrant illustrations by Dan Tarnowski. In addition to full-color front and back cover artwork, there is also a never-before-seen centerfold pull out poster for that empty spot on the wall above your bed.

    Mélange

    Hi, my name is sandy. i’m a short, late 20-something artist/designer in australia. Mélange is my perzine.

    Basic Paper Airplane

    Essays, interviews, occasional vignettes and lists. fun and unassuming.

    DIY or Don’t We

    A compilation zine about ways community is felt, the world over.

    Eaves of Ass

    Following in the tradition of new journalism, this is the more literary end of the zine counterculture. a true writer.

    Ilse Content

    A zine institution. inspiring, heart-felt, always aesthetically wonderful.

    Jesus Christ Superzine

    The (sometimes) comic adventures from one woman’s former life as an evangelical teen.

    Sugar and Heartstrings

    Heart muscle flexing.

    Beautiful Mess

  • Canister X – A Fanzine

    Because I’m the king of a million-and-one projects, last night I decided to create my own fanzine focusing on superheroes, sci-fi, fantasy and geek culture in general. So, being the good little nerd that I am, I opened up another WordPress account and created the beginnings of a full-fledged geek webzine (with a forthcoming print version) called Canister X, the title a homage to the ooze canister of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the X both for X-men and just simply something that’s unknown and you’ll never know what you’ll find till you look.

    The project is still in its beginning stages, but a good chunk of work was done on it last night and I plan on adding more to it later today.

    This will be an ongoing thing, so check the site often.
