The MSU Libraries has a large collection of zines, comics, and graphic novels. Some comics and graphic novels, especially international ones, can be checked out. The rest of the collection, including our zine collection, can be accessed in the Special Collections reading room. Learn about visiting Special Collections and make an appointment. While you can't take items from Special Collections, you can take photographs of them.
A full guide on zines in the MSU collection, including finding and accessing them is maintained by our zine librarian. We have zines on a variety of topics, including disability, sexuality, science fiction, and more.
