Analog is all the rage right now (even though you’re reading this on a device), but zines are nothing new. And this weekend at the SPC-Gibbs library, St. Pete Zine Fest contributes to nearly 100 years of freaky, punk, gay-as-hell zine history.

Homemade pubs started with sci-fi fans in the 1930s, hitting their stride for a couple of sweet decades from the ’70s to ’90s before we all got glued to screens.

St. Pete Zine Fest’s third year of DIY creativity and symposiums, including around 60 local creators like The Sapphic Sun, No Clubs Presents and This Bookstore Kills Fascists.

There is no cover for St. Pete Zine Fest, happening Saturday, Feb. 21 in St. Petersburg.
