The Shelf Heroes zine is an intermittent printed fanzine created by people who love cinema. It celebrates great (and not so great) films one letter at a time.
Collecting submissions from a diverse bunch of illustrators and writers, each issue will pull its inspiration from films beginning with that letter of the alphabet – imaginatively starting with A. Think Alien, Apocalypse Now, Avatar and American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt.
With no brief other than to “pick a movie and do whatever you want”, we’ve produced a publication as diverse and individual as the moving images that inspired it. An illustration of Ace Ventura, a short story inspired by Attack The Block, an article comparing Dominik's Assassination of Jesse James to Altman's Popeye, and plenty other weird and wonderful stuff.
Issue A will be limited to 100 copies, printed full colour on 55gsm newsprint and 56 pages long.
It will come packaged with some other fun stuff too, but that's still in the works for now.
