Abstract (EN): This chapter introduces the book and focuses on defining the essence and substance of fanzines as independent and ‘alternative’ publications. What are fanzines? At the risk of reducing such complex objects to a few lines, we can say that they are homemade craft objects, produced individually or collectively, and that, in general, they have limited circulation. But if circulation is limited, the scope of the topics addressed in this medium of communication is not. As we shall see throughout this book, there are as many themes as there are zinesters—limited only by each author’s imagination. Thus our main objective is to take a theoretical, chronological and thematic journey around the fanzines, considering their contemporary polyhedral vitality.
