My new zine "Dangerous Truth (pt.I)" is now available, and #2 should be finished by the end of the month.  Unfortunately, I do not have photos of it yet, but I can tell you about the content: 24 pages w/ inlay and bookmark, subjects including my experience with DIY gaming, Dungeons and Dragons,mental health issues, and writing culture.  I'm really looking looking to trade, but will offer them for $1.50 cash if you want to buy them (by mail only).  Send me a message or email me at…

Just wanted to say this is the NICEST community of people I have ever met online - you guys are so helpful & cool.

I'm closer today than I was yesterday at honing in on my idea :) and boy does that feel good.

A few of us comic and zine making types have been meeting up recently to talk, share ideas and general plot world take over by the DIY press here in Bristol. We've also started a collaborative comic-zine, called Bearpit. The first issue was released earlier this year, and the second is under-way, slated for a summer release. You can read all about it here.

Most importantly, though, we're an open forum, so if…

So here I am, starting. And you know what? I have no idea where or how to start Lol :) but that's ok - I'll get it sorted out.

I'm just going to throw this blog post out there and see if anybody responds in any way. I need help and I'm tired of being too afraid to ask or asking and getting no response.…

So I was at a store earlier because I needed a 500-pack of paper to draw on. I noticed that the regular paper was 5.99 and the 30% recycled paper was 7.99.

This first thing that popped in my head was that 'someone' was profiting on the fact that people might want to buy recycled paper. Shouldn't recycled paper be CHEAPER? I don't know all the manufacturing techniques but I just figure that it costs more to turn a tree into a piece of paper than it does to recycle old paper into a new…

Can I call you my friend? Maybe we don't know each other very well, but I still consider you a pretty cool person, and you've always been nice to me. You probably wish that I would leave you alone when we're on the bus together and you have to study, but the thing is, you always put up with our forty-five minute conversations on your way to your partner's house. Sometimes you even show me pictures from your many overseas trips, and this is something I really appreciate. I've had something…

There are all sorts of trite things I could say about not having seen you in forever, or the usual things people say when they miss somebody they used to hang out with almost everyday, but honestly, none of that would be appropriate when it comes to our relationship. Certain things remind me of you, and every once in a while, I do actually miss you, but honestly, I am relieved that you are over a thousand miles away. It's been about three years since the last time I've seen or heard from…

When I first starting reading and making zines (A whole nine months ago) it was a super secret. I gave my mom a heads up so she wouldn't put throw out mail that was addressed to Inertia and shared the ones I made with a totally cool librarian but that was it. No in my life one except the totally cool librarian (And I guess her boyfriend) ever read my zines. I don't know why I felt such a need to keep it a secret.

But I did. When I would collect crap to use as backgrounds or…

well,this blog,possibly one of the best blogs on wmz,has a new mission.after much speculation and thought,i've decided really that,after close examination of my self promotional,sick twisted and fucked up comics and zines,the time has come to take action against me.that is why i am proposing a boycott of my own zine.there are several reasons nobody should ever buy my zines.honestly not that many people buy them anyway.but thats not enough-no one,anywhere should ever buy any comics or zines i…

I'm always looking for things to include in my zine. Pictures, quotes, instructions, jokes, anything.

Don't be afraid of using profanity, adult content, drugs, alcohol, or fart…

I guess I have always know of Zines existence, but wasn't ready for them yet. I would pick up some of the larger titles about music at a Newbury Comics when I was in that area, but beyond that, I was unaware of the complete awesomeness of the underground publications. By the time I was ready for Zines and their experience, I couldn't get my hands on them and didn't know where to start.

My love for mail and mail art sent me to Swap-bot.com. There I spent all of my money and…
