When the official Weezer Fan Club was started by [[Mykel and Carli Allan]] in late [[1994]], one of the first orders of business was to establish a quarterly zine to serve as the primary source of band news for dedicated fans.{{Citation needed}} The result of this was "''Weezine''", a publication hand-crafted by the two and sent to every fan who maintained membership in the fan club. Each issue of the zine would consist of around 14 pages, each filled with information on b-sides, discography updates, tour dates, interviews with the band, [[Karl's Corner]], forms to order band merch, and anything else related to Weezer. | When the official Weezer Fan Club was started by [[Mykel and Carli Allan]] in late [[1994]], one of the first orders of business was to establish a quarterly zine to serve as the primary source of band news for dedicated fans.{{Citation needed}} The result of this was "''Weezine''", a publication hand-crafted by the two and sent to every fan who maintained membership in the fan club.

Following the [[Historic event: 07/09/1997|death of Mykel and Carli]] in [[1997]], [[Karl Koch]] would take over full control of the magazine (beginning with [[Weezine Issue 11 - Fall 1997|issue #11]], which was dedicated as a tribute to the sisters). Production of the zines began to slow down, both due to Koch's busy life, and due to the lack of news caused by the band's [[Weezer#Hiatus|hiatus]]. ''Weezine'', alongside the fan club as a whole, would be officially ended by Koch and the band around [[2000]].<ref>Koch, Karl. 2002. In Between Time: The strange trip between "old" and "new" weez.

The publication would be revived in a small capacity in [[2002]], following the reformation of the fan club by Koch and a fan named Suzanne. A second run of Weezines began, starting a new volume with [[Weezine Issue 1 - Fall 2002|issue #1]] in Fall of that year. While these issues were sanctioned by Koch, he also writes that they were considered to be "unofficial" by the band as a whole, as they had collectively decided to do away with an official fan club at the time.<ref name=inbetween /> | |||
In [[2018]], an issue of ''Weezine'' titled "2018 VIP Karl's Corner Experience Edition" was released, included as part of the VIP bundle for the [[Weezer/Pixies Tour]]. It was the first in the history of the publication to be printed in color, as well as the first not to be distributed through the fan club. | |||
On [[November 26]], [[2021]], a new official issue of ''Weezine'' was announced, titled "Tales of Weezer." Instead of following the traditional 'zine format, this issue consisted of a full-color 64 page illustrated book recounting historical Weezer events. It was written by Koch and illustrated by [[Alec Longstreth]]. | |||
