Hardcore: Volume 3 continues Ed Barcelon’s ongoing research project PUTTING HC ON THE MAP through a focused survey of original hardcore fanzines from the United States and Canada. Printed in risograph, the publication compiles independently produced zines from the early 1980s, highlighting the DIY publishing networks, graphic experimentation, and visual culture that shaped hardcore beyond the stage. Operating as both a historical archive and an artist’s publication, it preserves the printed matter that carried one of punk’s most influential underground movements across communities and generations.
