THE ZINES

Haich is a heavy Illustrated graphic novel style zine ( 2008 - ) Created by E J Zyla

"...Haich started out as a platform to thrash out an idea without any specific direction – It is a make it up as you go zine – The idea behind it is that a letter of an alphabet can be so much more than just a part of a whole- You can create stories out of anything – Haich inspires me..." [E J Zyla, H_introduction contact page]
