About Me


The MZS APA is a creative community for fans of ALL comic books, fantasy, popular entertainment, media, science fiction and related fields. The diversity of the members provides spirited discussion on a wide variety of topics.
The MZS APA was founded in 1988. It initially began as an individual fanzine under the guise of the Marvel Zombie Magazine before later transforming into a full-fledged APA.
But don't let the name and origins fool you; it is not in any way a "Marvel-only" apa. It may have started that way in 1988, but it is almost two full decades later now.
Artists and writers are given creative freedom to practice their craft within the pages of MZS. However, you don't have to be a trained artist or writer to be a member; a desire to be involved in a unique level of fandom is all you need to produce your zines. Some of our members have gone on to become professionals in the comic-book industry!
Stop by our home page or our forums and see more of what we have to offer!
You can also check out our MZS APA ComicSpace page !
The MZS APA is in no way affiliated with or sponsored by Marvel Entertainment Group.
