Now I wanna make a zine.
The Stanley Bostitch has become the symbol of the small press comics movement!
Thanks, Jim. I self-published comics in the 90's and early 2000's. I'm getting back into that again and your channel is very helpful.
Good interview in Comics Journal 98 with Clay Geerdes, the first real promoter of mini-comics. Around that same time (mid-80's) TCJ ran a survey of contemporary mini-comics and for a while regular reviews on what was happening with minis. Geerdes was a champion of "just make comics" and published Comix World, a newsletter, and helped a lot of newbies to get their feet wet. I ordered from him back in the day and before I knew it he'd talked me into drawing something for him.

Would be a good place for them to start if they decide to do an episode taking a bigger look at the history of minis. Would make a nice companion piece to this and the earlier show and tell they did.
This is the video I’ve been waiting for... Thank you, Jim!

Been thinking about this for weeks. I think I'm finally goin to pull the lever on this project
You just completely recharged my inspiration battery! 100% FULL
Thank for this Jim. I've been planning on making my own Zine and was wondering how to approach it professionally. This channel keeps delivering the goods!!!
Thanks for doing this Jim! Brings back so many memories of high school, putting zines together with my friends in the basement.
thank you, Jim! This was so helpful and got me excited to get my work out there.
I love process videos like this! Great information
So straight forward and informative, Jim, thank you.
Radical, thanks for this!
This is great! Thank you!
Jim brings the knowledge!
I might have to make a zine now. Awesome channel, you guys are awesome!
Thank you! This is saved in my bookmarks for future reference and getting shared.
Inspirational video Jim. Thanks for making and sharing. Would you be willing to do video about process before it goes to printer? Not necessarily the drawing itself, but how you organize and construct page layouts, etc. Thanks again.
I coallate and fold and THEN staple! I never have trimmed my comics, might be a good idea.

I have friends who fold first, then staple. Nothing wrong with that. - Jim
This was great man
awesome video! inspired me to look into the process of making a mini comic
Love these!
I love this video. Watched it several times. Popped up in my algorithm today. Lit a fire under my ass to make something. Thanks, Jim.
Great video, Jim. Beautifully explained so clearly. I heard you mention Best Value Copy. Have you made a separate video about setting up your prints with those guys? I went to their website and got lost. Obviously they have the means to print and assemble any zine. But your method allows for flexibility and interjecting odd pages or putting them together in a different sequence. I contacted them by their website to ask about a paper sampler pack.
This video is therapeutic for me 😌
Need these!
The zine dimensions are great for tankobon sized manga. Glad I watched this.
Grab a straightedge and run the pointy end of that scoring bone done the middle of your covers! It's an extra step but it'll help line up your staples plus it looks nice and cracks less
Damn, my Swingline stapler got a dressing down; wish I knew before I bought it a a few years back
Great video Jim!!! Dude your zines look so money!!
Jim looking like Mark Duplass in "Creep" for that first shot.
Thing I hate about finding this channel is finding out that the zines presented in this video are sold out.
Very informative... I passed on Rambo 3.5 to buy something else at your table... should've bought both. Next show I will buy it if available!!
This is awesome. I'm gong to teach this in my class. Thank you!
Great!
Hope you're bringing some of those wrestling zines to Charlotte next weekend! That thing just made the Kayfabe table my first stop upon arrival.

I will see you there! - Jim
This is great and I’m going to start to make some zones. What quality of paper is used for the zines? I know some is card stock, but is it a heavier or lighter card stock? Thanks for posting this, it’s a huge help and inspiration!
Wow! candy for the eye!
Very cool, Jim
Very very cool!
Were you the one that created Street Angel? I absolutely loved that book--I read it last week and it reminded me of Scott Pilgrim :) such a cool book, and mixes styles together so well
i'm in love with your zines. can you say what exactly stapler do you use?
Awesome
I tried making my own zine recently. I couldn't get the page order right.
Is it possible to buy these zines from overseas, like Sweden? Great video, love the channel.
very cool
wow amazing video!!! you just inspired me to make my own. any chance you're still selling that wrestling zine??? looks dope!!
nice!
Once again, Jim, thanks so much. btw, love the hat. Have you converted to Piskortarianism?
Great video¡ do you worry the printing company keep some of your images ¿
OMG you drew on the Plain Janes?!
Do you watch any modern wrestling or just old school WWF? Tonight (Saturday) is NJPW's Dominion show and it looks like it's going to be great. It's got Jericho vs. Okada, Naito vs. Ibushi, Dragon Lee vs. Ospreay and Moxley (Dean Ambrose) who just won the IWGP US title, in a match with a young lion.

I keep an eye on modern wrestling. Mostly I listen to podcasts about wrestling. Moxley's story is fascinating. AEW. I've watched some NJPW. But I don't watch much. Mostly just listen to old wrestling stories. - Jim
Hey Jim, how can I get those zines? Will they be available online at your store or Copacetic?
Hey Jim it's possible to order one online for Canada ? I would like the wrestling zine so much.
Watching this for second time. What are your pricing guudelined for the three differing formats?

Thank you. I was doing minis back in the very late 80s but have been out of it for awhile. I recently did a Frankenstein vs. Kong mini for my grandson, and had such a good time I started working on some new scripts. Trying to break into the Big Time never gave me as much joy as my time in the small press. You're an inspiration. Thanks again.
where can i purchase your zine?!
I’m making my first zine and I gotta say, you’re not wrong about this piece of shit saddle stitch stapler 😂
Short sweet and inspirational. Can i buy these online from you?
