Homesick was chosen as the name of this compilation zine because it features zines from all over Malaysia -our home. The other reason is because I’m always homesick. I’m also homesick everyday when I’m at work. I’ll always miss my bed and pillows :p

The zine compilation has finally been released! Sold about 40 copies in the first 3 days! Thank you for the support and trust! Some said that it’s too thin! Thinner than what they had expected.
We’ll release the second issue next year and this one is more like an introduction to it. So, hopefully next issue more people will participate! We’re planning to give extra space next issue; so 2 or 4 pages for each zines/contributors.
:)
Do give us your comments and start brainstorming your contribution for next issue.
