Of course, the first zines were science fiction zines, and they sprung up in the 1930s just about as soon as mimeographs were physically possible. The Hevelin Collection and Hevelin Fanzine Digitization Project are getting this stuff scanned and available.
I have the old Party Fears up and Brad Lambert is scanning the old Vortex … I deposited my old indie rock fanzine collection with the WA State Library when I moved to the UK; if I hadn’t, I’d be doing the lot … anyone who has the old B-Side, etc. from the 1980s and access to the standard office photocopier/scanner, please contact me.
