zines, especially in the Digital Age.
In this new edition of Microcosm's popular DIY guide to zine-making, Joe
Biel updates the information provided in the first edition (edited by
Biel and the late and great Bill Brent) to address zine making in
today's digital and social-media-obsessed world. Covering all the bases
for beginners, Make a Zine! hits on more advanced topics like Creative
Commons licenses, legality, and sustainability.
Says Feminist Review, Make a Zine! is an inspiring, easy, and
digestible read for anyone, whether you're already immersed in a
cut-and-paste world, a graphic designer with a penchant for radical
thought, or a newbie trying to find the best way to make yourself and

Illustrated by an army of notable and soon-to-be-notable artists and
cartoonists, Make a Zine! also takes a look at the burgeoning indie
comix scene, with a solid and comprehensive chapter by punk illustrator
Fly (Slug and Lettuce, Peops). Part history lesson, part how-to guide,
Make a Zine! is a call to arms, an ecstatic, positive rally cry in the
face of TV show book clubs and bestsellers by celebrity chefs. As says
Biel in the book's intro, Let's go!
