comic zines

Comic zines are small, self-published booklets or magazines that showcase creative comic art and stories. They are typically produced by individuals or small groups, often using inexpensive printing methods, allowing for independence and originality. Zines can cover a wide range of topics, styles, and genres, serving as an accessible platform for personal expression, community building, or alternative viewpoints outside mainstream publishing. They are usually distributed through independent shops, events, or online, reflecting a DIY ethos that encourages experimentation and diverse voices in the comic art world.
