I found my lost fanzines from St. Louis comic fandom (1968-1975,) and take a fond last look!

Описание: Fanzine flashback! I recently rediscovered some of the first zines I created as part of St. Louis comics fandom in the 1960s and 1970s. Before I donated them to the State Historical Society of Missouri (which wants 'em.) I took a loving last look. So you can see 'em, too! (Or at least the covers.) An even closer look is on my Substack: https://waltnow.substack.com/p/grafan...

The Walt Jaschek Papers at the SHSOM is here: ttps://collections.shsmo.org/manuscripts/saint-louis/s0371 It's just zines and some of my comic work for now, but lots more of my published and unpublished work will be added soon!

Wanna see one of these zines page by page? You can buy a digital scan of SON of GRAFAN 13 as a PDF here: https://ko-fi.com/s/a91046d9a0

These zines are some of my first published work as a young teen-age writer and editor. They represent my somewhat embarrassing beginnings -- I got better each issue, thank goodness. Here's what's in the video.
