ZX

— Faned: Andrew C. Murdoch. Perzine pubbed out of Victoria, B.C., in the mid 1990s. (Details to be added)

“One thing definitely mentionable about ZX, they were stapled along the top of the page, which meant you had to read the zine as a flipchart. It was a bit of a pain at first, but you gotta admit, it was unique. The first five issues were paperzines; when Andrew did a sixth issue as an E-zine, he said he got nearly no response to it. With that, ZX was dead, and when Andrew restarted a zine with COVERT COMMUNICATIONS he readily went back to paper. And, good for him.” (LP)
