Yesterday I was going through my stack of magazines, pieces of paper and stickers I’ve accumulated over the years and decided to make a special space for my collection of fanzines. This led me to ask you guys, what are some of your favorite fanzines? do you know of some hidden gems or hyper-specific publications that you think need more eyes on them? Have you ever made a fanzine by yourself or with some friends?
Some of my favorites from my collection are the following:
Summary
Four years away from Fighting Games, by my friend Ori, a touching little comic about the hobbies you come back to and the perspectives you take after changing a lot yourself.
Las Nuevas Aventuras de Super Fideos, this one I actually borrowed from a friend. It’s a pretty wacky comic printed in this tiny format that makes it perfect for reading on the go.
Guide Book, by scoop_ie. I love the art style of this one. I haven’t read it in a while, but I remember it being a really cool take on trans/furry concepts. I can’t find the artist’s site now, but I’ll add it when I do.
Manifesto Horrorista, by Claudia Rodríguez. Claudia is kind of a big figure in the local trans scene. She’s a poet. I remember writing to her to ask if she had some zines for sale and she gave me this big bag of a copy of everything she had published. She just published a compilation of her work in Spain as a book called “Cuerpos para odiar”. I highly recommend it.
