Hate Zine

An intimate, self-published artifact of the 1980s alternative comics scene, Hate Zine is a single-issue comic by Canadian cartoonist Colin Upton, first released in 1985. A raw, personal work from the early days of the small-press movement, it captures the unfiltered voice of a creator who would become a fixture of the underground. Though brief in its run, this zine matters as a snapshot of the era's DIY ethos and the beginnings of Upton's distinctive, confessional style.
