Zines I’ve received. Prices and contact information taken from zines’ indicia. More detailed descriptions under construction.

Has your zine been incorrectly described? Have I forgotten to list your zine? E-mail me with your corrections.

Update (Thursday 27 February 2003): After thinking about it, I’ve decided that I should make this page for detailed reviews of the most recent issue of each current zine I read. (This should be more useful to you than one entry for an entire run of a zine that may be out of print or for which the contact information may be out of date.) I’ll still list and review older zines in my collection on a separate page.

alco-beat: 5½×8½-inch punk zine by Stacey, PO Box 1363, Madison, Wisconsin, 53701-1363; e-mail [email protected]. “Issues are 50 cents, two stamps, or by zine trade.”

BCSFAzine: “The club newsletter published by the British Columbia Science Fiction Association, a social organization. Single copies $3.00 each. For comments, subscriptions, suggestions, and/or submissions, write to: BCSFAzine, C/O Box 15335, VMPO, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6B 5B1, or e-mail [email protected].” 8½×11-inch zine edited by Garth Spencer.

Challenger: Thick 8½×11-inch zine by Guy H. Lillian III, PO Box 53092, New Orleans, Louisiana, 70153-3092, e-mail [email protected]. “Challenger is available for $6, in trade for other zines, or contributions of letters, articles, or art. Or else I just give you the thing.” Guy was nice enough to “just give me the thing” in exchange for a promised letterzine response. I also threw in the two mini-comics I’d just finished as thanks for waiting the six months it took me to compose, print, and mail my letterzine.

Gort: Mini-comic (4½×5½ inches) by Garrett Dean Eng. 75¢. Contact Garrett “by regular post at: 10820 Mersey Drive, Richmond, BC, Canada, V7A 3N4.”

Opuntia: “Published by Dale Speirs, Box 6830, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 2E7. It is available for $3 cash for a one-time sample copy, trade for your zine, or letter of comment. Whole-numbered Opuntias are sercon, x.1 issues are reviewzines, x.2 issues are indexes, and x.5 issues are perzines.” Very nice-looking 8½×5½-inch zine.

Public Works: “To order copies, submit stuff, ask questions, e-mail: [email protected].” 5½×8½-inch anarchist zine with tips on culture-jamming.

Royal Swiss Navy Gazette: “From Garth Spencer, PO Box 15335, VMPO, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6B 5B1; e-mail [email protected]. A personalzine with utterly irregular frequency and no particular subscription policy.” Garth’s current perzine. Also the official zine of his conspiracy to parody politics, the Royal Swiss Navy itself.

Sod Awf: “C/O Ivy, 9440 Glenacres Drive, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, V7A 1Y7; [email protected].“ (I found mine free at Zulu Records IIRC.) 5½×8½-inch punk zine. Classic punk layout and typography; photos. A lot of band interviews and profiles, and record and concert reviews. Also, a great article on punk art, starting with Dadaism.

T Magazine: (no contact information) A 4½×8-inch promotional zine that was attached to TV Guide. It’s essentially a print advertisement for the cartoon channel Teletoon, but in a very pleasing zine-like format (that detached neatly from TV Guide along its perforated edges—a refreshing change from the figurine and commemorative plate spam that doesn’t tear properly).

(no title): (no contact information) Punk collage zine by Jen “JJ” Jones, co-host of Fruit Salad on Vancouver Co-Operative Radio, CFRO 102.7. Contact me if you can help me get more information.
