FAQs
What is a zine?
A zine is a self-published, non-commercial vehicle for expression and ideas. Zines have been around since the late 1920s as an expression of thought and were popularised in the '60s with the birth of fanzines.What is this zine about?
The title and prompt of 'Lost Tales' come from the idea that there is much of the canon TRON universe timeline that is unknown to the viewer. Similarly, with this franchise's cult status, much of the fandom and pomp surrounding it gets lost to time or internet obscurity. This zine is an attempt to highlight that, while also assuring other Tron fans that they are never alone in their appreciation.What kind of works does this zine include?
This zine includes a variety of art, comics, fics, and essays.Is this a charity zine?
