Fanzine Archive Launched

[David Price]

Okay, a little later in the year than I had hoped, but I think I've ironed out enough of the bugs, so that I can officially launch the zine archive site.

If I'd waited until all the pdf's were uploaded you wouldn't be seeing this until Christmas, but I think there's enough there now to wet your appetite about what's to come.

Right now, you can read issues of: AFTER IMAGE, AKA, APOCALYPSE, ARKEN SWORD, BEM, DIRECT CURRENTS, COMIC MEDIA NEWS, FANTASY ADVERTISER, FANTASY TRADER, FASTER THAN LIGHT, GRAPHIC SENSE, OGRE, ORPHEUS, and THE PANELHOUSE.

Over the next few months, I'll be posting all the other issues of these that I have, and other titles too.

Once again: Many, MANY thanks to everyone who has helped make this possible, and especially to all the Editors for their generosity.

I hope you enjoy reading these zines. Please feel free to leave comments and brickbats on the 'letters of Comment' page at the site, but please bear in mind that I have a fragile ego, and that I bruise easily

Whever Thrillpower Overload mentioned an interview with a 2000ad creator in something like Arkensword or BEM, it always made me sad because I knew I would never read the full interview. Thanks for putting that right, David.

This is what the internet was made for 
Shall be having a proper rummage when time allows. Great stuff, David.

My pleasure, I hope the site will bring back lots of happy memories for people

[JOE SOAP]

Wonderful. Some of those interviews are extensive with unique illustrations.

[Colin YNWA]

Wow - that's a pretty fantastic resource. Thanks for sharing.

[Spikes]

Looks to be excellent stuff.
So thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into this!

As others have said, these Fanzines are a veritable treasure trove of unique goodies. Looking forward to delving deeper.

Thanks guys, over the next few weeks and months I hope to make it into comprehensive resource.

Some new zines uploaded (I'm hoping to average one a day).

I've also added a 'Spotlight' page to the site, to highlight a particular zine upload, or for a guest to talk about their history and involvement with Fandom. So if anyone wants to review one of the zines, or just write about their time as a contributor / editor / publisher, I'd be happy to include it

Dave.

I've yet to do more than glance at this, but my word what a wonderful thing it is.

Today's update.

Great stuff! I think Arkensword 11 is a missing one in my run (looking at the PDF didnt spark any memories!), so good to see that gap plugged!

AS ever, I am more than happy to fill a few more gaps as this expands if there's something I have that hasnt yet been provided

[David Price]

Ta Leigh, uploads are averaging one a day at the moment, so always worth keeping an eye open for what's been posted. I'll not post every day here, as it might be viewed as spamming.
