If you’re a fan of fanzines, then you’ve got to check out Ken Meyer, Jr.’s<\/strong> monthly column Ink Stains<\/strong>. \u00a0Each month Ken (who is an amazing artist<\/strong><\/a>) posts… well, let’s let Ken<\/strong> explain…<\/p>\n

\n

I have a collection of over 200 fanzines from the 60\u2019s-80\u2019s that I plan to scan and talk about, one at a time. I hope to have some of the participants answer a few questions. Many of those participants are established comics professionals now, while some have gone on to other things. I will show a few snippets from each zine and give you a link to download a pdf of the whole thing, which I hope all of you will do!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For Ink Stains\u00a038<\/strong><\/a>, Ken<\/strong> took a look at Charlton Bullseye 4<\/strong> and 5<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a01976.<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Edited and published by Robert Layton<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Once fanzines started to gain notice, the comics companies decided to put out their own fan mags. \u00a0Marvel had FOOM. \u00a0DC had the Amazing World of DC Comics. \u00a0And Charlton had the Charlton Bullseye.<\/p>\n

These two issues have an amazing talent line-up…<\/p>\n

4: Cover by Joe Staton, Peacemaker pinup by Walt Simonson, an E-Man story by Nicola Cuti & Joe Staton, a Frank Thorne E-Man pinup, a John Byrne comic story and more.<\/p>\n

5: The Question cover and a story written and drawn by Alex Toth, a pinup by Mike Nasser, an interview and art by Don Newton, a comic story written and drawn by John Byrne, a pinup by Neal Adams and more.<\/p>\n

Whew! \u00a0More than worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n

Ah, the memories of\u00a0the glory days of fanzines. \u00a0Thanks to Ken Meyer, Jr.<\/strong> for making these available!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
