“Stapled Spine” is a horror(ble) zine straight outta
Portland, Horroregon, whose mission is to entertain “horror fans, one
black-clad moron at a time”. It focuses mainly on horror comics and their
creators, with occasional forays into films, books and anything horrid, all
with a positive and fun vibe.
Features include : "SYMHM (WDOS)" or Shit You May Have Missed (While Doing Other Shit), which totally speaks for itself in the most direct, yet slightly longwinded, way possible; ads, interviews with comics creators (all interviews feature a “Speed Round” of quickfire questions, one of which is “who would win in a fight? Dracula or Godzilla?" - harder than you think), quizzes, the regular “Werdserch” (which I aced) and a maze (which I did NOT), jokes and general horror fun; a look at the Portland Horror Film Festival, an intense, personal review of “Let The Right One In”, told in the form of a love letter, a Pride-flavoured list of comics with LGBTQ+ actors and main characters and much, much more!
“Stapled Spine” has a groovy, sustained retro feel and a tremendous sense of sleazy fun throughout. We're talking printer sheets stapled together with love and an unstoppable desire to have a good time. It is grungy, grubby and glorious - embrace your inner Horroregonian!
