Please join us to celebrate the launch of Fanzines by Teal Triggs

Teal Triggs, the London College of Communication (LCC) and Thames & Hudson would like to invite you to celebrate all things 'Zine', at The Well Gallery, LCC.

ZineView: A Pop Up Reading Room will showcase a huge collection of zines provided by the zine makers and fanatics of today, along with examples of zines from the past held in the LCC Zine Archive, Zineswap's extensive library of zines, the author's own collection and (amongst others) our Big Antidote project. 

Open for one night only, come and see, browse and discuss independent publications in all formats: whether they be zines or newspapers, handmade or glossy.

A bit about the book
Fanzines is the ultimate book on the subject, full of reproductions of the best fanzines ever created, from the superhero tributes of the 1950s and 60s, to punk fanzines such as Sniffin' Glue, right up the contemporary e-zine scene. Arranged chronologically in six chapters, each with a thorough introduction, Fanzines spans eight decades of counterculture and features many extremely rare publications. The author is avid fanzine collector Teal Triggs, who is Professor of Graphic Design at the University of the Arts London. She has written extensively on the subject including as co-editor of Below Critical Radar: Fanzines and Alternative Comics From 1976 to Now.
