D.A.N.G. creator Amber McCrary is a Diné zinester, feminist and writer.
We checked out local creatives making zines filled with words and art exploring issues they care about — from queer culture to political resistance. They're quick but thoughtful summertime reads, and you don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy them. Here's a sampling of zines by local creatives, in case you feel inspired to read a few, or even write your own. Heads up: The 2018 Phoenix Zine Fest happens October 28 at Unexpected Art.
