the zines you need to know about now

In September 1980, i-D founder, Terry Jones, took his designs to a printer's shop on Portobello Road, and, with two shakes of a lamb's tail, the first issue of i-D materialised. Putting punk into print, i-D was a fanzine dedicated to counter culture, anti-heroes, trailblazers and trend sitters. It was unpolished and unapologetic, with its rough around the edges, DIY aesthetic being the ultimate fuck you to the glossy lifestyle magazines of the time. Fast-forward to today and the zine remains a powerful icon of the counter culture, although it now comes in many different forms, and these are the ones you should be reading. The queer zines that should be on your radar. The first of a new zine series, each month we ask an influential member of the zine community for their picks of the best publications on the self publishing scene I got involved with the zine community five years ago, when I made my first zine Make It Work, a fat positive fashion and craft zine featuring tutorials, and personal writing on class and bodies.

Through tabling at many rad zine fairs like Queer Zine Fest London, North West Zine Fest and DIY Cultures, I’ve made friendships and accessed strategies, solidarity, support and methods of resistance from so many radical zinesters. Since then I’ve made personal zines about queer femme identity, self-care, mental health, abuse and class, with my most recent project being organising the newly founded Weirdo Zine Fest in London. ‘The Nova Revolution’ from Riposte #5 - magCulture.

​Ladybeard Is the Feminist Glossy Mag Talking Real Sex For Everyone. Cover Image by Scarlet Evans courtesy of Ladybeard Magazine If you really sat down and tried, you could turn a lot of pages in the space of 30 days. While we've spent over a decade providing you with about 120 of those pages every month, it turns out VICE isn't the only magazine in the world. This series, Ink Spots, is a helpful guide to which of those zines, pamphlets, and publications you should be reading when you're not reading ours. Ladybeard's first issue is all about sex. Not that you needed to be told that. ‘Joy’ Is a Reminder that You Can Be an Entrepreneur without Being a Dick. Hollywood swoons for the male entrepren-asshole. The epic of the coarse young man chomping at the venture capital bit is our generation's bildungsroman of choice. We love our Zuckerbergs and Jobses and Musks, and our films mythologize these men into characters even more irreverent, ruthless, and cruel than their real-life counterparts.

What is it that we love about the entrepren-asshole, this paragon of egomania and excessive bro-courage? Maybe we're drawn to the idea that in order to be truly successful, we'd have to give up on kindness and put generosity on hold, shave off all our human concerns and cut out our close relationships, to focus single-mindedly on the target of wild success.
