"They were never meant to be collectible," author/filmmaker Harmony Korine says of the fanzines collected in The Collected Fanzines, "just low-concept laugh-inducing juxtapositions of words and images, images and images, lists, monologues, cartoons, free verse, jokes, half-thoughts, fake/real interviews, innuendo and Matt Dillon's phone number."

The zines, dating back 15 years, were originally sold out of New York City's Alleged Gallery and Andrea Rosen Gallery back when Korine was just a young punk with The Flamingo Kid's digits. Some of the material contained within finds Korine working with artist/skateboarder Mark Gonzales, who turned up in the guy's 1997 film Gummo.

Come November 18, Drag City will issue the anthology in both a trade paperback and a limited edition box set containing reproductions of eight original zines with funny titles: My Friend or Sheep Boy, Adulthood, Adulthood 2, Oh Death Where Is Thy Sting, Foster Homes and Gardens, Humor, Pocahontas Monthly, and Hümer.
