What is a Zine?

Zine's are a shortened version of a magazine and are mainly targeting a limited audience. They are a inexpensively produced, self published, underground publication, ranging from hand drawn to printed and even online.
The exact date of the first zine is unknown, roughly in the 1970's, but Benjamin Franklin could argue that ( if he was alive) because in the 18th century he started a small literary magazine for psychiatric patients at a Pennsylvania. This could be considered the very first zine because it captures the essence of the philosophy and meaning of a Zine.
