HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I am in the process of setting up a zine library at the not for profit vegan cafe where i volunteer in Cambridge U.K. (www.cafeproject.org) and I need donations!!!

Any zine or comic related to anything is welcome...I'm aiming for a diverse selection :)

ok! so if anyone wants to help out or even just offer advice on starting a zine library then hit me up on…

Evil Flower #3 is now available, but not for trading. Which I hate, but I am out of money and am literally unable to make copies as of this moment.



So! You can send me a dollar and I will send you a copy. Also, I don't know how I feel about digital zines, but I'm going to outside my comfort zone and…

It is my sad priviledge to share the news of the passing on of Chief Richard Grass of the Lakota nation, South Dakota USA, on 23rd December. . .having JUST released a collection of writings on Lakota history and the struggles these people are still going through, it strikes me as very strange timing especially at the end of 2010 CE. I encourage everyone to learn about the situation,…

I decided that I needed to clear out some stuff in my life and my zine collection is one of them. I kept the zines that I've grown attached to. But the zines that I'm giving you, are one of the best ones I've received over the course of 10 years.  There are a lot of good zines here that need a good home, to be read, to be loved once again.



I'm offering two   one packages, offering for…

I had to clear out some of my zine/mini-comic collection as I had two boxes overflowing. I'm selling these for pretty much what it costs to ship them. I just want them to go to a good home. I'll include one of my

own comics with any order (a $1 value!). I have four packs of comics

and two of zines. E-mail me at info (at) candyormedicine (dot) com if interested.

So, December thus far has not been productive zine-wise. I have a bunch of ideas in my head, but I cannot execute them in a zine. I have my apartment stories, some essays I've been writing on trying to date again, psychology things, letters I wish I could send to people. All sorts of ideas, but when I stare at the paper and hold the glue stick, I feel lost.



Summer is always more productive for me. Not sure why. Maybe I've just come to expect it and by happenstance I create a…

in this semi-depressed state would be good or bad....?

I do enjoy dark zines, and dark things in general, but would I later regret anything I put in it? Would I look back on it as a result of my depression or dark creativity?

Things to think about!!!

Octopussy #1



56 pages, $3.50 from Paco D. Taylor, 7730 East Broadway #925, Tucson AZ 85710, USA + stpaco(at)gmail.com



A quick flip through this zine and I knew it was a good one.



First up, Paco's confession that after a shitty break-up he distracted himself from the pain with booze and strip clubs. He…

Well it's pretty clear its not Bach - just not the sophisticated technical talent of Bach. It's more simple with a lot of melody. And note there's more joy in this very very short piece, than most Bach keyboard…

We'll be there with a table of zines! Earlwood is easy to get to - just catch a 423 or 412 comin' from the city, or get a train to Bardwell Park station (though you'll have to walk up a rather large hill if you choose that option).

60 Earlwood Ave, Earlwood (the old police station, next door to the Earlwood Hotel on the corner of…
