J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. A Tale of two Storytellers
A downloadable Zine
About
This is one of my first attempts at publishing a Zine. As a topic, I decided to write about two of my all-time-favourite fantasy authors, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, most notably famous for creating the imaginary worlds of Middle-Earth and Narnia. Their biographies and books share similarities, and the two were like-minded authors who also happened to be good friends in real life. It is the story of that friendship that I want to tell in my Zine, illustrated with graphics of my own design. There are two versions available for download, one of them including printing marks.
