New York Mag Discovers Queer Zines

The patron saint of indie queer culture, A.A. Bronson, spoke with New York Magazine about the rise of queer zine culture.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” says AA Bronson, director of Printed Matter and co-editor of Queer Zines, an encyclopedic history of the genre released this fall. “The seventies saw the first rise in ’zine culture, and then again in the mid-eighties, when the plain-paper copier made life easier. But the last few years have definitely been a new phenomenon.”

It’s always nice when our favorite queers — Michael Bullock, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Billy Miller, Christopher Schulz, Felix Burrichter, and Adam Baran — are mentioned in print.
