FUCK ISSUU, HELLO CALAMEO!

As Issuu has really limited what you can do with free accounts, no further issues will be uploaded there. Rather than going through the pain of self-hosting or paying, I found the next best thing, so you can now read all issues on the new Crucial Zine Calaméo account.

Additionally, all PDF links have been updated, in case you want to go old skool and read it offline.

HARD COPIES ARE IN!

 

Yo! Hard copies of issue 12 are IN! You can grab them from the online store (or in person if you live nearby in Athens) in FOUR different colors, because I clearly learned all the wrong lessons from the 1990s comic book bubble! I will soon be getting it over to a bunch of rad stores and distros, if you know anyone who'd like to stock it, send them this way, yeah? Nice one!
