Electric Ant Zine is an occasionally occuring anthology zine -- a mix-tape of articles, comics, art, interviews, photography, lists, and ephemera on the mind of editor Ryan Sands.

Each issue is loosely organized around a cental theme, and features dozens of fabulous artists and writers among its contributors. Please see below for details on each issue.

A third issue and resumption of the series is planned for 2016. The tentative theme is "HYPOTHETICAL DADS".
