In this mini-zine, Melanie finds the carriage to write about her miscarriage. It describes her experience and also the days before and after, the physical and emotional sufferance that she went through and about her companion Nate who was always there for her. This is an issue that most of us guys don’t know much about and do not really understand. A nice and sensitive read for everyone.

I want my Baby, the miscarriage zine

Are you tired of looking at recipes in a recipe book and find out that every single one need ingredients that you’ve never heard of before or you have to go to other side of the city to get them while to make you need to spend a lifetime in the kitchen? Do you want to impress your friends with your cooking skills and prepare them a great meal in no time and no mess? Emma the girl doing Spat Back zine made this awesome little vegan cookzine for all you guys! Ten great vegan recipes anyone can make (even me)! Yup, no more crappy vegan burgers and chips from that greasy shop down the road and microwave dinner, it’s time to enjoy real food and get some proteins. Plus these recipes are great for non-vegans as well! ps. Don’t order pizzas, order zines!! Emma has recently started a zine distro, check it out at: http://fist-distro.livejournal.com/

Blue! Do you trust that I do not want to see you die here tonight?
This is a hardcore / straight edge zine, coming from the UK but not in the form of a music zine: interviews, reviews etc. This is more writing about HC and sXe, sometimes serious and sometimes funny. It has some guides on putting out records, touring and feeding bands and more, many writings on sXe, some of them are extremely funny plus some criticism on the hardcore scene putted in a very funny way. In every corner you will find jokes on hardcore kids plus some hilarious drawings (Christian hardcore and more). There is also an article about the non existent punk scene in the Middle East (based on the authors travel there), a funny as fuck piece on why Ray Cappo is better that Jesus Christ and many more writings. This is a very interesting read; even if you’re not into hardcore this is very enjoyable mainly because of the way it is written. To be precise, although it’s a hardcore related zine, it doesn’t seem to be taken too serious by its author, which is a good thing in by opinion.

Chris has been making zines forever. You know why? Because he’s good at it. And although I haven’t read any zines of his for about 8 years, I feel like I’m holding an issue of Aversion again. Great crusty, anarcho-punk zine. You will find articles on Punk and Desorden Collective, Cardiff Anarchist Network, Black Bloc and ID cards. Also interviews of Ruin and Extinction of Mankind and a lot of reviews of albums and zines. Agitate / PO Box 202 / Shipley / BD18 3WB / UK chrisagitate@yahoo.co.uk
Anonymous AUDACITY #1
Two girls squatters from Manchester released this fabulous and moving zine. They’ve put some anarchism, feminism, direct action, squatting and living issues and mixed it all pretty well. You will find some personal stories and confessions, a letter to a neighbor living next door to their squat, experiences on living in a community of a squatted building, a piece on alternatives to commercial sanitary products, two vegan recipes and other nice stuff. The layout is pretty nice as well; half typed, half handwritten (a bit tough to read some times because of the handwritten pieces, but if you preserve you’ll make it). They don’t have an address right now cause I think they have been evicted, but I hope they’ll soon find a new place to stay. You can ask for it at blackandwhitecatpress@hotmail.com

I get sick and tired of people telling me how strange they think I am
I don’t know if this is actually the name of the zine. To be honest, I don’t even know whether you’ll consider this a zine. I got it from the zinefest in Manchester and I love it. Five stories in it, 4 of them simply drawn comic stories while the [...] -
Exotica Subterranea (Exotic Underground)
This is an issue of Exotic Underground but since it is about South America it is called Exotica Subterranea. This is a very good introduction to the Latin America punk scene. It has an interview with Octavio and Jose, two random guys, one from Mexico and the other from Colombia, [...] -

Immigrant Zine #3
The guys of immi zine once again did a great job. They changed into A4 (unfortunately I am a big fan of A5) and included more articles in greek than on the previous issues (half of it is in greek and half of it in english now) and more personal [...] -
Spat Back #4
This is the forth issue of Emma’s mini zine or shall I say the “starting 2006″ issue? This one is different than the previous issues. It is a “to do” list for 2006. Things like watching less tv, start a band and travel; put together in Emma’s special way, with [...] -
Stories from the Haunted Hospital #3
This comic comes from Leeds and only 100 copies were printed so you better hurry up and order one. Four stories (the eye in the bathtub, it kills cats, it’s true.. and an untitled one) in 12 pages and a couple of nice photos. Dark, weird, morbid. See the first [...]
