History of Zines

zinehistorybig

In an attempt to better document the American underground press, or at least the sharp, tiny sliver of it that corkscrewed its way into my heart bone 25 or so years ago, I’ve given myself the task of reaching out to all of the zine publishers that I know, and asking them how they found their way into the underground press, and how, with the benefit of hindsight, they now feel about the experience.
