Issue #1 published in June of 2012. Self published by Burrow, a disability blogger, this zine contains work done by people with disabilities. Originally conceived in a zine shop as there were no zines about disabilities available the idea took off and the first issue contains work by 18 different people. The Kickstarter campaign raised over $360 and allowed the zine to be sent to zine libraries in the US, England, and Canada as well as distro companies in the US, Australia, England, and Canada (sent on 6/19/2012 - results of distribution pending).
