Purple Revolver’s underground culture zine Über has been featured in a profile interview with respected Fanzine authority Teal Triggs on her website Zine Weekly.
Zine Weekly blog focusses on the art of zine making and zinesters. Teal puts Editors Amber Tan and Andy Johnson on the spot about the future of Über and the tension between running a commercial creative press agency and creating a zine with a DIY ethos.
