A raw and unfiltered visual archive of punk fanzine artwork from the 1970s and early 1980s. This release presents a curated collection of original fanzine covers from mostly the UK and US underground scenes — reproduced back-to-back with no commentary, no interruption, and no reinterpretation. Just the artwork as it originally appeared.
Emerging from the DIY ethos of punk, fanzines were an essential form of communication — cheaply produced, photocopied, stapled, and distributed hand-to-hand. They documented local scenes, shaped identities, and gave voice to a generation operating outside of mainstream media.
This collection focuses purely on the visual language of those publications: collage, typography, Xerox textures, cut-and-paste layouts, and the immediacy of expression that defined the era.
An archival document intended for those with an interest in graphic design, underground print culture, and the visual history of punk.
