Fanzines: "delivered by shady dudes in trenchcoats"

Ja, auch ich bin ohne Internetz aufgewachsen... "I'm a kid of the '70's, a teen of the '80's. I remember a time long before there was an interweb, back when fanzines were largely delivered by mail-in subscription or shady dudes in trenchcoats hanging out at the fringes of comic book and Star Trek conventions. Back then the coolest path to self-affirmation was seeing your slightly-desperate letter begging Keith Giffen to bring back Ambush Bug reprinted in a DC comic". - Tobias J McGuffin: "Show Me Your Lightning Bolt!".
