Fanzines have always gone hand in hand with the British Punk scene and The Damned were very present in the early punk zines of the time. Starting in the 1970s, the DIY aesthetic of the punk subculture created a thriving underground press. Below are a number of general punk zines and zines dedicated to The Damned. As you can see from these there has been a recent flurry of zines from Facebook Groups like Damned unto Death and The Flashman Society of The Damned.
