RUM-MUFFEL
#1, €1, 5” x 6”, photocopied, 20 pgs.

ROADKILL
Vol. 2 #11, $3, 7” x 7”, copied, 24 pgs.
By Keith Rosson
One of those zines that’s saddled itself with a self-imposed deadline—apparently these folks have shot for one issue a month for a year, which is a pretty lofty goal.

I WAS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE
#2, $?, 8 ½” x 11”, photocopied, 20 pgs
By Matt Average
This music isn't going to cure cancer, end world hunger, or give America affordable medical care. It's just music. If it's not fun, it's not worth doing, right?

IF AN AGENT KNOCKS
$?, 5½” x 8½”, offset, 52 pgs.
By Keith Rosson
There have been a million of these types of these things published over the years, all essentially saying the same thing: don’t consent to a search and don’t talk to feds or cops.

GUTWRENCH
#2 and #3, free, 8 ½'' x 5 ½'', photocopied.

Kick-ass. A zine by someone who is in a band I like. I love it when that happens.

In fact, these stories are rather simple, well-written, warm-hearted, and often funny.

COUPLA BEERS SHORT OF A SIX PACK,
$?, 5½” x 8½”, copied, 128 pgs.

Instructions on how to make a homemade tattoo gun fall in the “really stupid” category because there’s no disclaimer to warn you about how crappy those permanent marks on your body look when done by an amateur.
