Description
Cometbus is a zine produced by Aaron Cometbus. Mostly submerged in punk rock's subculture, most issues feature music reviews and interviews, but many times include personal (and thoughtful) short stories centered around a variety of subjects including travel, change, politics, and growth.
Cometbus has always carried a "punk zine aesthetic" throughout its history (black & white, cut and paste images and text, photocopied)... However, the one aesthetic distinction that can be made between Cometbus and every other punk zine is in the handwritten lettering throughout its pages. Aaron Elliott's handwriting has been used in every issue since its inception, burning its memory into Cometbus fans and followers across the globe.
Cometbus went on a brief hiatus in 2004, but came out of retirement in 2006 to release Cometbus #50 - the 25th anniversary issue.
