The Vellum Underground

 

The Vellum Underground is mostly about publications past. It is a look back at the history of underground publications, a tribute to those who came before, even maybe a where-are-they-now look at some of the zinesters and editors who influenced me.

And it will be about our press. The unifying theme of this zine will be the history of The First Line and Blue Cubicle Press. I'll begin at the beginning, tell my story of how I became a writer and how a little legal-sized saddle stitched zine sprung into a publishing dynamo.
