Crime Zine

As we have probably mentioned on this blog a number of times, we both love murder mysteries. Whether they're books, films or TV series, we lap them all up. To celebrate our passion for detectives and amateur sleuths, we decided to put together a zine full of our favourite TV characters. It's got 16 pages of biographies and illustrations and it's been bound by hand, like all your favourite Young Explorer zines.

It includes:

Jessica Fletcher from Murder, She Wrote

Quincy

Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks (Very topical)

Sherlock Holmes

Poirot

Miss Marple

Dr Mark Sloan from Diagnosis Murder.

You can buy it dead easily from our Big Cartel shop, which has been spruced up a little recently. You can have a look at our other zines while you're there too!

Who's your favourite TV detective? Have we missed out someone obvious? Let us know. It's too late to be included in Crime Zine now, but maybe we can make a Crime Zine Part Two at some point with the best of the rest!

Young Explorer Stuff

One day we're hoping to be able to retire and live off the money we make from selling zines and badges and things. Now you're able to help us achieve this goal! We now have an Etsy page where you can buy the zine and badges and things like that. Eventually we'll have other things for sale, so start saving up some cash.

If you have a look over on the right hand side of this here page, you'll be able to see some little thumbnail type pictures of the stuff you can buy. Or you can just CLICK ON THIS LINK.

Crime Zine

We can't wait for the zine convention this Saturday. Along with Young Explorer and our new ace badges, we have made a tiny zine of all our fave television detectives!!!!!!

Hello!

This is our first ever blog post, and that image you can see over there is the cover of our first ever zine! We're hoping to do these quite regularly, and when we can't afford to get loads of zines printed, we'll just blog about things on here instead.

The theme of the first issue is 'Home and Away'. Sadly this doesn't mean that we've made a zine about the Australian soap, although in hindsight that probably would have been quite good. No. It's about being at home or going away, kind of.

So there's a bit about where one of us was born, a bit about where we've been on holiday and a bit about the general area we live in now. Also there's some other stuff about music and it doesn't really fit in with the theme, but that's okay.

We're debuting the first issue of Young Explorer at the Victoria Baths Zine Convention 2012, which is at Victoria Baths in 2012. More specifically, 19th May. As well as the first issue of Young Explorer, we'll also have copies of 'Crime Zine' available, an a6 mini zine with monoprinted portraits of your favourite TV detectives. On top of that we'll have some badges and things like that so we can try and squeeze as much money out of you as possible. We'll probably post some pictures when we've got all these things ready.
