From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Zines)
A zine—an abbreviation of the word magazine—is most commonly a small circulation, non-commercial publication of original or appropriated texts and images. More broadly, the term encompasses any self-published work of minority interest.
Zines are written in a variety of formats, from computer-printed text to comics to handwritten text (the most famous example perhaps the eponymous work of Aaron Cometbus). Topics covered are broad, including political, personal, social, or sexual content far enough outside of the mainstream to be prohibitive of inclusion in more traditional media. The time and materials necessary to create a zine are seldom matched by the sale of zines. Small circulation zines are often not copyrighted and there is a strong belief among many zine creators that the material within should be freely distributed. In recent years a number of photocopied zines have risen to professional status and have found wide bookstore distribution. Most notable among these are Giant Robot, The Comics Interpreter, and Lollipop.
