[[Image:punk-planet.jpg|thumb|125px|Punk Planet]] '''''[[Punk Planet]]''''' was a 16,000 print run [[punk]] [[zine]], based in [[Chicago]], IL, that focused most of its energy on looking at punk subculture.  In addition to covering music, ''Punk Planet'' also covered visual arts and a wide variety of progressive issues -- including media criticism, feminism, and labor issues.  The most notable features in ''Punk Planet'' were the interviews and the album and zine reviews.  The interviews generally ran two or three pages, and focused on the motivations of the artist (or organizer, activist, or whoever) being interviewed.

J.D.s - Issue One

J.D.s was a queer punk zine founded in Toronto by G.B. Jones and co-published with Bruce LaBruce.

" J.D.s is seen by many to be the catalyst that pushed the queercore scene into existence", writes Amy Spencer in DIY: The Rise Of Lo-Fi Culture. J.D.s ran from 1985 to 1991, during which time eight issues were released. A cut and paste, photocopied zine, it proved influential.

After the release of the first few issues, the editors wrote a manifesto entitled "Don't Be Gay", which was featured in Maximum Rock 'N' Roll. According to Amy Spencer, "The article appeared in February 1989 and simultaneously attacked both punk and gay subcultures. Following their article, a queer punk culture did begin to emerge."

J.D.s stood for 'Juvenile Delinquents'. The editors originally called their movement "homocore" but later replaced the word 'homo' with 'queer', to disassociate themselves completely from the confines of the gay and lesbian communities' orthodoxy. G.B. Jones, interviewed in DIY: The Rise Of Lo-Fi Culture, says, "...we were just as eager to provoke the gays and lesbians as we were the punks."
