ByPass n5-(Magazine-UK-1996)

Amazing magazine about the world of fanzines with lots of reviews and nice graphic works.As they write in the editorial "ByPass is a review magazine for zine producers,self publishers,small presses,pamphleteers,DIY media creators and outside agitators.Reading it connects you to a whole chunk of the "underground" press.It is a tool to enable you to find out what others are doing and communicate,exchange and network on a direct basis,using the zine for open access to information,entartainment and dissemination.It puts zine-nists in touch with each other and readers without having the dependance or reliance on the profit based on channels of supply via shops and distributors."
Enjoy it.

Massive Love n1 (Sept. 1991) + Massive Love n2 (June 1993) [fanzine-Resistance Productions-Switzerland]

I  wrote already about Resistance Productions when I posted the compilations "Punk is..." here if you want to check that post.
Resistance Prods  was a small diy label managed by Pablo,Lara and Fts in Switzerland in the beginning of the 90s.
They were publishing the zine called No Sancturay and few others + tapes.
When Pablo and Lara became parents they started  Massive Love zine,as they called it a zine by punk parents for punk parents.
On those 2 issues you can read articles about home-birth,disposable diapers,inoculation,kids vegan diet,home schooling,lesbians mums,vegan diet during pregnancy and lactation + letters and few reviews of other zines.Here I am going to write down the introduction that Lara wrote for the first issue. Very interesting little zines with a lot of  current issues.

"After breastfeeding,changing and washing nappies and cuddling Suzy,I finally managed to finish the 1st issue of Massive Love,a zine
dedicated to alternative ways of child raising.I have started it to answer the questions I am asking myself now that I am a mum.
To get to know other punk parents so that we can share our experiences and support each others in our struggle against society`s rules,to prove that having children doesn`t mean conformity to society.
To write down my thoughts and my feelings about my new situation,for other  people to write down their thoughts and feelings cos I love doing zines and I will keep on `till I am an old granny!!!"

BOREDOM IMAGES fanzine n 3 + n 5 + n 6&7 (graphix,fanzine,mail art-diy-UK-90s)

BOREDOM IMAGES was a fanzine  created by Ade-L-Vice during  the 90s.
She was into mail art, weird experimental graphix,counter culture and fetish.
As she was describing it Boredom Images was not for sale,not really a fanzine and it was produced every now and again using found images and text.
It was a very nice way to use copy art and mail art at the same time.
She released also a video always for the series Boredom Images and managed few mail art projects covered in part in those small and nice fanzines.
This post is for the lovers of the strange and unknown underground press mixed with copy art,fantasy,rebellion and creativity.
For your pleasure reading.Enjoy those small yet great fanzines.
