Zines.
Zines... a super quick history.
Zines are a small, easily replicated, handmade publication that originates from the 30s sci-fi era. They were used to connect early sci-fi fans to each other in a pre-internet world. In the 1980s, they made a comeback! Punk rockers of the time would use the small publications to spread ideas and images that were important to their movement.
