Broken Pencil: the magazine of zine culture and the independent arts, is a mega-zine dedicated exclusively to exploring independent creative action. Each issue features reviews of hundreds of zines and small press books, plus comics, excerpts from the best of the underground press, interviews, original fiction and commentary on all aspects of the indie arts. From the hilarious to the perverse, Broken Pencil challenges conformity and demands attention.

Issue 96 explores the many ways art, artists, zines and scenes evolved in a planet compromised by pandemic. How communities made due, crafted new spaces, wedging into even the most commercial virtual platforms and subverted them for their own devices.
