Dominick has been making and selling zines since late 2009 often changing titles between different issues. Some zines he has made include: Feather Star, Flower Bomb, Comatulid, A Time To Die, Silo, and Physical Sciences of the Dead. The zines are often rooted in surreal narratives made more so by typing errors and the ambiguous nature of the narrator. Some of his earlier issues covered experimental noise music and other undergound music. The later zines often exhibit an effective display of cut-out imagery that meshes with the hallucinatory writings. The result is akin to an Avante Garde film, of which Comatulid loves to absorb. The name Comatulid translates as "Floating Flower".  The editor is also a fan of squatting, feminism, and Beat Authors such as Richard Brautigan.  The print run of each issue is often under 100 copies and are distributed by scattering them to passerbys around tourist traps in hip shopping districts or at underground shows. Afterwards he often sets to making a new zine rather than increase his print run.

Revision as of 21:04, 3 March 2011

NOTE: Before adding a project to ZineWiki, please browse the Previously Featured Articles for examples of the best ZineWiki has to offer.
Keep in mind, ZineWiki is not a classifieds section, it is an encyclopedia.
New entries should NOT contain simply a "sample page" and contact information.


See the "edit" tab above? On ZineWiki, anyone can edit almost any page at any time.

What is ZineWiki?

Click edit to change any entry!

ZineWiki is an open-source encyclopedia devoted to zines and independent media. It covers the history, production, distribution and culture of the small press. Feel free to add your project, contribute additional information to already existing pages, or to edit what’s already published. Subjects should be explained in terms of their relevance to zines and independent media.

ZineWiki was created by Alan Lastufka and Kate Sandler in June 2006.

ZineWiki's content is written collaboratively by many of its readers.

How can I help?

Don't be afraid to edit—anyone can edit almost any page, and we encourage you to jump right in! Find something that can be improved, either in content, grammar or formatting, and fix it.
