ZINE QUICKIES #1 - PARAPHERNALIA #6 || SABAT #1 - THE MAIDEN ISSUE || KNOCK KNOCK - WYRD FOLK AND WIVE'S TALES








TITLE - PARAPHERNALIA #6

A5/28 PAGES/FULL COLOUR/PAMPHLET 

PRICE - £2.95 + FREE SHIPPING TO UK FROM PARAPHERNALIA ETSY STORE

Based on '70s punk zines and inspired by the '90s Riot Grrl movement, "Paraphernalia", subtitled "And other trinkets you hide from your mum", is a DIY art and culture zine with an irreverent edge. Expect punk humour, album reviews and an iconoclastic ranking of all the Spiderman movies.



TITLE - SABAT #1 - THE MAIDEN ISSUE [AMENDED REPRINT OF ORIGINAL 2016 RELEASE] 

LARGE-FORMAT/144 PAGES/BLACK & WHITE 

PRICE - £9.50 + INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING FROM THE SABAT WEBSITE

Described as a fusion of "witchcraft and feminism, ancient archetypes and instant art", "Sabat" is much more than a mere zine, so I'm probably doing it a disservice by including it here. Issue #1 is a large format paperback featuring striking photography and art, alongside provocative, progressive writing, with a strong emphasis on the Tarot and positive witchcraft. The issue 1 that is currently available is an amended reprint from 2018 of the 2016 original, and later issues are still available from the website, along with Tarot decks, pins and other merch.



TITLE - KNOCK KNOCK | WYRD FOLK AND WIVE'S TALES 

A5/104 PAGES/BLACK & WHITE/PERFECT-BOUND 

PRICE - £10.00 + INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING FROM THE FRISSON COMICS ETSY STORE

"Knock Knock" is a deliciously disturbing collection of horror-themed comic strips, poetry, art and prose stories which dip into folktales and folklore from around the world. The contributor roster is made up of diverse international talent and the art and writing is of a very high standard throughout. A deluxe edition is available from the store which includes a print and a tote bag, along with other issues.
