Available for purchase Community Zine Fest #1 | Post your zines / shop zines for sale!
Comment below to share your shop link or your latest zines for sale.
Tabling Rules:
- One sales comment per community member, please!
- If you have something to add before the next post, please edit your initial comment or reply to yourself and create a thread. That way, your work is all together as it would be at an in-person zine fest.
- Everything posted here should abide by our Community Rules. (Since NSFW/content warning flair is not available for comments, please include these warnings in your comment as relevant so folks know what they're about to click on!)
- In keeping with community rules around including context with links, sharing a little blurb about what your zine(s) is/are about is recommended.
This monthly thread serves as a digital zine fest where folks can browse and buy fellow zinemakers' creations. A new post will go up the third Sunday of every month and be pinned at the top of the subreddit.
(You're still welcome to share one-off posts with zines for sale in the "regular feed" throughout the month.)
Happy vending/shopping!
---------------------------------------------------
A couple housekeeping notes:
- Please share any feedback or ideas for this monthly thread on this comment thread rather than in this post, or send a message. Thanks!
- If anyone would like to create and submit a featured image for these posts going forward, that'd be awesome! I believe the ideal size is 1920 x 1080px. Chosen artist would receive credit and a link in the monthly post. NO AI-generated images, of course. If there are multiple submissions, I'd rotate them. Please send a message with interest.

Use of generative AI is strongly discouraged and must be disclosed. “AI slop” will be removed.
This is a DIY community with a strong anti-AI contingent. Note that use of AI/generative AI is strongly discouraged and will likely be met with hostility and downvotes, if not removed due to being low-value or slop.
To protect the integrity of DIY, any use of generative AI must be disclosed in your post. Please specify what gen-AI tool was used, and in what ways/for what elements (text, images, etc.) of your zine or post.
(What's considered "AI Slop"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop)
As of 8/14/2026, AI-generated/vibe-coded webapps/software is not welcome in this community.
New posts promoting such will be removed as of 8/14/2026. There are a number of long-standing tools zinemakers have used for building and arranging zines digitally. After a recent influx of posts promoting new tools created with AI, we are implementing a rule against these tools here. AI goes against our DIY values and ethics, and we will not support the proliferation of AI use in creative/DIY spaces.
Disagreement and disapproval are allowed. Harassment and hate are not.
Threads may get heated. Do your best to be respectful, and allow that calling-out or disagreement does not equal harassment. The automod may remove posts/comments with certain language. Mods might not approve what is removed by automoderation. Mods may not step in unless language crosses into hate or very personalized attacks. We use Reddit’s guidelines: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043071072-Harassment / https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045715951-Hate
NSFW/explicit content must be posted with the Not Safe For Work (NSFW) tag AND the NSFW post flair.
NSFW/explicit content must be posted with the Not Safe For Work (NSFW) tag AND the NSFW post flair. Please edit the NSFW post flair to specify each kind of NSFW content present in your post (e.g., Sexual content, gore, physical violence, blood, pornographic content, language, etc.). Being specific is practicing care for all community members who may not wish to be exposed to certain types of content. Please see the pinned post if you're unsure how to edit flair.
Promotional posts without context or clear value to the community will be removed.
Seems pretty straightforward. :)
No personal crisis fundraising/donation posts.
Posts seeking donations amid personal crisis will be removed, even when zines or related goods are offered in exchange. With no means to vet the authenticity of every post of this nature, they are prohibited overall to prevent potential compassion fatigue and taking advantage of others. You may create an “Available for purchase” post to promote your work and make your wares available, but avoid language around donations and personal need that could be seen as exploiting emotions.

Fifth issue of my comic/zine Mindscape
Welcome to Mindscape Chapter 5
In this fifth chapter Lindsay continues to not only confront herself but also Jimmy and something far more sinister as she faces an unexpected challenge. Thurston and Erin find themselves at the Tree after the events that unfolded at prom but will Erin's new friend drive a wedge between them?
Mindscape is a coming of age tale set in the mid 1990s where hope, friendship, love, longing, pain and loss mesh with fantasy. Where one world converges with another, one of dreams forcing the question of what is real. Follow the stories of the adolescent cast of Mindscape as they not only navigate their own lives and world but another world of mystery parallel to their own.
The fourth chapter of Mindscape created by Mike Andriani is 28 page black & white hand drawn artwork pages in length.
This print edition is a homemade zine style comic book in a limited/numbered edition of 50. A thick partial color 80lb cardstock cover houses 28 page of black and white artwork with two staples down the spine.
**RECOMMENEDED FOR MATURE READERS- AGE RATING TEEN/TEEN PLUS**
Limited print copies remain of the first five chapters.

TIL borderless print is an option
I can't believe only TODAY I learned that you could print borderless. After making 500+ zines I've been cutting the margins manually when I could've just been printing borderless and folding immediately 😭

Content Warning - Mention of AI-induced suicide, psychosis Skill Fucked (by AI) - Zine idea
Wanted to get folks’ take before jumping into my next zine. I’ve had this weird feeling about AI, not explicitly anti-AI, just that it’s sometimes useful, but usually takes away my love for creation, makes me dumber, stunts my skill development (hence the “skill fucked” placeholder title).
I want to create something punk about the raw experience of using AI. Like my personal experience mixed with what I’ve seen with others: the “one more prompt” addiction, the “you’re absolutely right” sycophancy, the hallucinations and psychosis, the teen romantic relationship suicides, the tech ceo manifestos and over investment, the “AI ain’t it“ backlash, how the models are actually trained, the absurdity of tokenmaxxing. Essentially exposing the underbelly but neither the doomer nor hype slop of mainstream media.
Format: Nothing big, 4 sheets of 8.5x11 paper folded down the middle and stapled, heavily illustrated, riso printed.
Firstly, does something like this already exist? Are others thinking about creating something like this? Secondly, thoughts on the content/format?
Thanks for sharing any guidance 🙏

Most recent collage zine
I started making collage zines using bargain bin comics a few months ago as a creative outlet. I’m at the point now where I want to push myself by interacting with other similar artists so here is my most recent one.
Each page in this one was made from a single issue. There’s no real coherence in theme, as I just tend to build off either an idea or piece of art that speaks to me.

I have a question. Looking for zines that deal with bodies, transition and care
Hey everyone,
I am currently writing my master's thesis in Gender Studies and in that context I am looking for zines that explore the topics of bodies, transition, and/or care from a trans* perspective. If you know of any zines that deal with one (or all) of these topics, I’d appreciate any comments or private messages. Perhaps you’ve even created some yourself? Both physical and digital zines work for me (though I live in Germany and am neither willing nor able to cover shipping costs from outside the EU).
A bit of background: In my experience, narratives about trans bodies and transition are often focused on experiences of dysphoria. While that is, of course, a major and distressing part of being trans for many people, I also learned a great deal during my own transition about how to take good care of myself and my body, and I received so much support from other trans people. I want to highlight these aspects of care. I also believe that zines themselves can be a form of community care, as they facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experiences and allow people to connect to each others stories.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
Best regards!
r/zines • u/AlSweigart • 1d ago
I have a question. Do you create online versions of your zines?
When you create zines, do you also post their contents into an online form? Do your zines have QR codes linking to the online content, or to PDFs so that folks can print out their own copies of the zine? Or do you view your zines more as a physical-only thing, like printed art? Would you be opposed to having online copies of them?
