OMEN TO THAT - The Art of the ZINE

As long as there have been fans, there have been fanzines! The roots of the modern zines can be traced back to the 1930’s Science Correspondence Club in Chicago  and their publication The COMET. In 1967 what is cited as the first true fanzine appeared – Spockanalia based on the popular sci-fi tv show Star Trek. Since then almost every genre has spawned its own brand of fanzines, from music, sports, tv shows and individuals.

On today's show I’m pleased to be joined by a Raechel Leigh Carter who is not only the co-founder of the BAM Comic Art and Zine Fair, but a prolific zine creator who has produced works on Nicholas Cage, Neil Breen, Jane Birkin and Morrissey. She is also the creator of the fantastic Merde in France, which teaches you French phrases using pop culture icons.

So warm up the photocopier and fill your stapler as we look at the art of the zine.
