Today we're putting a spotlight on the physical zine and Pins & Patches poster! The 260-page zine is filled with fan-works from 49 different contributors; the poster pays homage to the ones adorning the walls of his childhood bedroom. #CharlesRowlandZine #DeadBoyDetectives

The zine's cover and poster design were done by @comicalspecimen.bsky.social You can pre-order both of these items in our store until August 6th, 2026! dbdaupliftsshop.bigcartel.com All orders will be shipped in September, 2026. #CharlesRowlandZine #DeadBoyDetectives

Here's a little peek at the zine's interior pages and the poster's star illusion film effect! 👀❤️ #CharlesRowlandZine #DeadBoyDetectives
