description: In Microcosm’s DIY guide to zine-making, editors Bill Brent, Joe Biel, and a cast of contributors take you from the dreaming and scheming stages onto printing, publication and beyond! Covering all the bases for beginners,  Make a Zine!  hits on more advanced topics like Creative Commons licenses, legality, and sustainability. Says Feminist Review, “ Make a Zine!  is an inspiring, easy, and digestible read for anyone, whether you’re already immersed in a cut-and-paste world, a graphic designer with a penchant for radical thought, or a newbie trying to find the best way to make yourself and your ideas known.” Illustrated by an army of notable and soon-to-be-notable artists and cartoonists,  Make a Zine!  also takes a look at the burgeoning indie comix scene, with a solid and comprehensive chapter by punk illustrator Fly ( Slug and Lettuce, Peops ). Part history lesson, part how-to guide,  Make a Zine!  is a call to arms, an ecstatic, positive rally cry in the face of TV show book clubs and bestsellers by celebrity chefs. As says Biel in the book’s intro, “Let’s go!”
