Magpie Zine See other projects related to this listing. We list other projects with similar titles. Please check that you report any submissions under the correct listing. About Our tiny corner of the lit mag world was born from an affinity for avant-garde art and early underground zines—subversive, intelligent, and vigorously imaginative. We are devoted to the spirit of that counterculture and the heart and soul of originality. We like peculiar critters who are authentically peculiar.We support writers and artists whose aesthetic strives to create an experience. Each magazine issue is a themed collection of somewhat unusual, possibly urgent, and slightly unhinged human expressions, existing somewhere between fancy and feral or a rock and a highbrow.
