We Peaked at Paper : An Oral History of British Zines
History of British Fanzines - Book - by G.Hogg & H. Ironside
(2022)
Increasingly, as we come to terms with what a cesspit the internet
really is, there has been a revival of interest in various artefacts
once thought obsolete: vinyl records, analogue photography . . . and
zines. With zines from the punk era now selling for hundreds of pounds
on eBay, and the study of zines a burgeoning field of academic interest,
We Peaked at Paper appears at a propitious time.
The book
consists of 21 in-depth interviews with editors of zines. Hogg and
Ironside travelled across Britain to carry out interviews, seeking to
examine the widest possible range of publications: from the science
fiction zines of the 1930s right up to the present day, in the form of a
thriving Bristolian zine begun by a ten-year-old editor during the
COVID pandemic. Case studies include legendary zines such as Sniffin’
Glue and Ablaze!, as well as lesser-known zines about football, feminism
and charity shops.
Entertaining, informative and
thought-provoking, this is a volume that celebrates amateurism, and will
be cherished by those who favour the local over the global, the
home-made over the mass- produced, and Melody Dog over Ed Sheeran.
