Issue 9 of The Closet Zine (Published by us in the 1990's) is Missing.

It is possible that we have gotten issue numbers / dates wrong, because several were not written in the issue. We used the content mostly to reconstruct the order they are now in. It is also possible that there are more issues in each series that we are not aware of.

Calling all Expert Collectors / Librarians: If anyone has these issues, please use our Submissions Page to Contact Us. We would greatly appreciate having them back. These early issues were distributed in the Mail and requested by Libraries, so we were hoping someone out there still has them.
