Madzine (C’Est La Vie In America Tour Sampler, 2024, 16 pp.)

It’s an exciting time to be a Madness fan and for the next generation to experience a “Fanzine” and its fascination. Of course, the original core fanbase of the 80s is already comfortable in their past. Like all literature, each has its look, feel, taste, and character. Complete and Utter Madness (Madzine) is no different; in this special issue, we look at my childhood photo scrapbook that includes pictures from different news outlets. You’ll get to see rare and never-before-seen images of Madness that have been hidden for the past thirty years.

It’s been several years since any such issue of a Madness zine landed on anyone’s doorstep. Sure, you can get up to the minute Madness news online, but there’s nothing like sitting down with a good zine and giving yourself a break from a screen – even better, you now own a physical piece of Madness history.
