Many zines appear for sale on eBay without key details - like publisher or publication date or a complete list of table of contents or artist credits. This fanzine was most likely published in the early 2000s, a time when fanzine fandom was being replaced by online fandom and fanzines began their long march to even more obscure publications.
The zine is Walk on the Wild Side. It is a slash fanzine and it is a Multi-media zine (or in today’s terminology “Multi-Fandom) as it has stories from many fandoms such as Buffy, Roswell, and X-Men. Through much effort Fanlore was able to identify the cover artist as Norma Rockswell but additional details about the zine are welcomed (publication date? editor? review? full table of contents?)
(some links go to Fanlore, the fan run wiki about media fandom). (Earlier I blogged about a tumblr user who was showcasing zines that are being sold on eBay. The image above is from the original ebay seller ad. The artist was not credited in either posting).
Today I depart from the world of print zines to focus on e-zines (or online zines). While there are few, most are free.
To start with, the only two Teen Wolf ezines that I know of: *The Sterek Book (this was also produced in printed format in a limited print run) *Eternal - viewable online here
In the days before Instagram and reverse selfies….A cartoon about Dark Shadow fans attending the fan run convention, Shadowcon. Published in the fanzine, The World of Dark Shadows. Artist is Shari Metcalf and the image is used with the publisher’s permission on Fanlore, the fan run wiki.
