Fan zines

Fan zines are self-published magazines created by enthusiasts to explore and celebrate a particular interest, such as a TV show, comic, or band. They are usually produced in small quantities, often handmade or digitally designed, allowing fans to share their creativity, insights, and passion with like-minded individuals. Fan zines can include articles, art, stories, and commentary, serving as a voice for grassroots communities. They foster community engagement, provide a platform for diverse perspectives, and often operate independently of commercial publishers, emphasizing personal expression and collaborative fandom culture.
