We may be losing count but we think this is the fourth Zinezilla event to be hosted in Bristol and from the press release it looks to be its biggest and most impressive yet. Full details are below (including table applications) but if you want more background on the event here’s our interview with co-organiser Mereida Fajardo for last year’s fair plus our review of the tie-in Zinezilla anthology Megalazine from 2024. This will be epic. Get it in your diaries!
