LEGOWELT CYBER ZINES !!!
I love the make zines either digital E-zines or paper ones…
ZINES are a vital artistic medium, especially in today’s world dominated by shallow, ‘infodemic driven, platform-obsessed, post-capitalist’ societies.
Zines are the secret pillars of any underground culture or movement. Free from the constraints of mainstream social media and algorhythms. They are an authentic form of self-expression and creativity, a source of obscure knowledge, stirring up people’s passion for the DIY ethos.
Below is a selection of some back Issues of Legowelt’s ‘Shadow Wolf Cyberzine’ Internet’s No.1 lifestyle opinion glossy for the modern Cyberpunk Electronic Music afficinado . Originally an e-zine in classic ASCII BBS txt haxor style, from Issue 11 onwards it comes out on paper. Released yearly around Christmas with some special issues at other times.
In 2023 I decided to release the Shadow Wolf Cyberzine in paper zine format. It was available at the Legowelt bandcamp, would be given away at shows and a bunch of recordstores had copies too.
Lots of people were asking where/when the 2024 issue was going to be released, unfortunately I didn’t have time to make one in 2024 but I will try to make a new zine in 2025! Ofcourse this one will have new WOMBALD & SLORPY comics 🙂
