The BugPowder Zine Archive is offline right now

Hello,

In the 1990s and into the early 2000s I was involved in various UK and international small press comics and fanzine scenes. After contracting Long Covid in 2023 and finding myself forced to rest, but unsure how to actually do this, I decided to open up the boxes of zines I’d been carrying around for decades and scan them.

This was a useful exercise but my illness accelerated before I could finish. Now I’m in recovery I don’t really feel the urge to complete the project and there are a number of innacuracies and issues I don’t have the energy or interest to fix, so I’m mothballing it for now.

I may bring it back in another form in the future and all the material is safely archived.

If you’re at all interested in the archive, either digitally or physically, please do get in touch. I would dearly love to offload these boxes to someone who will care for them!

My Long Covid recovery is being documented at notes.peteashton.com.
