Sniffin' Glue issue #1
Sniffin' Glue was edited and published by Mark Perry in England. It covered the rise of the early punk scene throughout the UK, later expanding it's coverage to the rising punk scene throughout the world. The first issue was published in July 1976 with a print run of 50. It featured a hand-drawn/written cover and the name was derived from a Ramones song.
In the zine history books, Sniffin' Glue will go down as the first pioneering punk zine that launched a thousand other zines, as well as firmly cementing zine publishing as part of the DIY punk ethic. In 2000, Mark Perry published Sniffin' Glue: The Essential Punk Accessory, a book compiling all the issues from the late 1970s.
