In Poland, research-related fanzines rarely include writings edited by Polish fans of science fiction, horror and fantasy. Active fans edited amateur magazines which were very important because they popularized fantastic literature and culture in Poland. The role of fantastic fanzines was not limited solely to the promotion of amateur creativity or publishing translations of foreign fiction not available on the market, but also consisted in the creation of creative bonds between writers and readers. The remnants of the activities of Polish fantastic fiction fans are about one hundred titles including “Quasar”, “Red Dwarf” and “Other Planets”. These three fanzines as effects of pure amateur work are also very similar to the professional magazines. Each of them has a different poetics and thematic dominant. They have also published stories written by famous Polish writers such as Ewa Białołęcka and Andrzej Sapkowski.

The article is an introduction to the analysis of the titles of Polish underground and alternative press, i.e. zines produced by subcultures, artistic and political groups. At the beginning the author presents some definitions and a typology of zines: fanzines and artzines. Then, the history of Polish zines in nonofficial “tertiary” and “alternative” circulation and the history of zines in the world is discussed. The next part presents general facts about zines: the first scientific development of zines, anthologies, catalogues, dissertations, biographies. Before the presentation of the research, the author discusses onomastic methodology and troubles with it: many scholars treat an analysis of zine titles as an innovation. Then, the author shows results of the title analysis of the zines produced by anarchists, punks, ecologists, animal rights activists and vegetarians. These were divided into cathegories, based on the semantic dominants („ideology”, „tradition”, „anti-aesthetic”, „humour”). Their texts operate in similar discourses. The last part of the article is a conclusion. Other titles (artistic and polital groups, metal music fans and hooligans) are presented in the second part of the article.
