REQUIRED READING: A great interview with Craphound’s Sean Tejaratchi.

I got a handshake* from Mr. Tejaratchi a decade back, and bought the Death, Phones & Scissors issue down at Reading Frenzy.

Treasures. Zine history. Free Use. All-around greatness.

(*I asked about back issues and he ripped my head off. Something like that. I’ve been a fan ever since.)
