The zine library of Jessica Williams



This is the zine library of Jessica Williams
I'm not a collector per se but I have a collection

All the items cataloged here were acquired by me over the last decade
Not just zines—but also small artist books, editions, comics, etc.

I have also included a few independently published magazines but on the
whole have omitted anything with a mass-audience (this is probably arbitrary)¨


quoted from manystuff.org

The L-A-S-E-R-M-A-G-A-Z-I-N is a selectio of drawings, photos and collages. It is published six time a year in the shape of a handmade zine by artist Beni Bischof (content production). It is published in very small edtions between 12 and 80 (numbered and signed).

Carlos Zéfiro



Carlos Zéfiro was the pseudonym of Alcides Aguiar Caminha, a Brazilian artist who drew underground erotic comics between the 1950's and 1970's. His small publications, or catecismos, were 24-32 pages long, crudely drawn and circulated clandestinely during that time. It was sold discreetly in newsstands and street markets, and slowly developed a cult following. They were the initiation manuals to many young man, before the age of explicit sex magazines and movies. It wasn't until one year before his death in 1992 that Carlos Zéfiro's identity was finally revealed in an interview to Brazilian Playboy magazine. He had hidden this secret identity even from his wife and family, who didn't suspect of his parallel life as an erotic cartoonist. It turned out that he was a public servant and feared legal action against his work, resulting in the loss of his government job. During the dictatorship era in Brazil an investigation began looking into the author of such pornographic work but the results came out inconclusive. Today, his work is very much prized as nostalgia and the original editions of the booklets he published are highly collectible and hard to find.
