In 2009 Kelly recorded the best thing that happened each and every day. This zine compiles all of those experiences and thoughts. Mostly text with pictures of Kelly and friends spliced throughout.

Sick is a collection of essays by people within the DIY/radical/alternative communities regarding their physical illnesses. As it is stated in the introduction, this zine is intended for a variety of audiences, including those who may have never experienced illness themselves. Not only is this collection of writing important for learning how to support those of our peers who are ill, but also as a starting point to take action on building a culture of care within our communities. Some of the topics covered in this zine are kidney disease, chronic migraines, cancer, Hepatitis, heart disease, etc. This is such an important compilation and I urge everyone to read it to have a better understanding of supporting those in our lives who may be sick.

Stolen Sharpie Revolution #2

•$6.00 – ¼ size paperback. 144 pgs.•

Created by Alex Wrekk of Brainscan, this is the absolute ultimate pocket guide to everything you ever wanted to know about creating zines. For this fourth edition of Stolen Sharpie Revolution, Alex decided to call this edition “#2” because of the incredible overhaul of all of the information from the past editions. As of 2009, SSR has been out for 7 years. This printing is fully updated for the current state of zines including the latest distros, infoshops, zine events, review zines, etc. This guide gives detailed information on basics of making and distributing your zines including different forms for cover art, such as block printing and also binding options. Though, it does not stop there! SSR also gives great pointers on where to get zines, ideas for letters to zinesters, mail art, and how to use the United States Postal Service to your advantage! Highly recommended for both the beginner or, the seasoned zinester who needs a good motivator.

Sub Rosa #3

•$1.00 - 1/8 legal 32 pgs.•

In this third issue of Sub Rosa, Taryn starts off with a hint of a love daydream. She then shifts gears into an incident where she witnessed a parent being abusive towards their child at a store. It takes her everything not to explode in rage, being reminded of her own upbringing. There is also a piece on why Taryn has decided to not keep a paper journal at this time due to the disappointment she would feel, recording uneventful days. Small and text heavy, Sub Rosa is a roller coaster of emotion that I love to experience with each read.

Sub Rosa #4

•$1 - 1/8 legal 32 pgs.•

Taryn Hipp interviewed Gwen Stefani for a past issue of Bust magazine. In Sub Rosa #4, Taryn writes about her experience in interviewing a “rockstar” for a larger publication. Waiting in the lobby of the Ritz Carlton and being ushered off to meet Gwen by an assistant, her experience was positive but very eye opening in how this process works. The other subject in this zine is Taryn’s store, My My and it’s first brick & mortar location in Hatboro, PA. She speaks of other jobs she held and why it was important to her to support the DIY/handmade community.

Sub Rosa #5

•$2.00 – ¼ legal 32 pgs. •

Taryn briefly touches on the past year of her life in which she did not create a zine. She states how her My My store had closed (don’t worry she’s in a new location now!) and her relationship with her husband halted after she found him to be cheating. This issue is about everything that happened after that year. She writes about a new love interest and how her life feels fresh and new after she started attending punk shows again. After 15 years of zine collecting Taryn writes about how she almost gave her collection away… only to stop herself and make it her mission to reread them all over. Sub Rosa #5 focuses on change and growth and holding true to who you are.

Support

(SOLD OUT!! WILL REORDER!)

•$2.50 - ½ size. 64 pgs•

Cindy of Doris zine put together this compilation which deals with how to support survivors of sexual abuse. It gives essential advice on how to listen, and how & when to talk to someone you are supporting in this most difficult situation. There is invaluable information on how to establish sexual boundaries. Also, tips on defining consent and preventing future abuse through education. I feel that it is also a great resource for survivors but should be read with the utmost mindfulness to your health.

Telegram Ma'am #18 / Your pretty face is going straight to hell #9

•SPLIT•
•$3.00 •


A lovely split zine by Maranda and Tukru that crosses the Atlantic ocean, Canada to the UK, respectively. Both sides are extremely pleasant to the eye with crisp cut & paste layouts. Maranda of Telegram Ma’am writes about their small town life and trying to figure out their place within it. Maranda also touches on the freedom of biking through Lindsay, Ontario but also the panic attacks they encounter. Your Pretty Face is Going Straight to Hell is written by a woman named Turku who is Finnish and lives in the UK. In this issue she writes about developing and reinvesting herself in friendships. This includes some adventures with her friends and even a trip to Platform 9 ¾ for the Harry Potter fans. Tukru also speaks of a recent doctor visit to discuss depression.

Toothworm #4

•$1.50 - 1/4 size 36 pgs•

I love the strange little illustrations in Toothworm as they weave in with text about childhood, sex, isolation, and anger. This issue begins with the literal bandaging of a wound due to a bike wreck and morphs into bandaging the wounds caused by anxiety, losing a job, and watching a father go through alcohol withdrawal. Beautiful writing that paints vivid images, a highly recommended read.

Truckface #12

•$2.00 - ¼ Size 80 pgs. •

LB writes about her experience as a teacher in the city of Chicago. An engrossing read, this zine takes us through the Chicago school system and the students & faculty inside. One of the most interesting things was the fact that LB must learn how to become authority when she has always rejected it as a punk. Such as struggling to enforce a ridiculous “tuck in your shirt and all will be okay” dress code policy. Also having to endure the faculty lounge and the other teachers who spout off absolutely hateful racist remarks about their own students. I think it's great that LB has the strength to try to make a change in her students lives. A truly great zine... and as always LB includes her awesome illustrated portraits throughout. There are also a couple of great travel stories in this issue of Truckface.
