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}} This resulted in the creation of ''Weezine'', a publication hand-crafted by the two and sent out to all club members. Issues of the zine consisted of around 14 pages, each filled with fan encounters, 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 the Weezer.

Following the [[Historic event: 07/09/1997|death of Mykel and Carli]] in [[1997]], [[Karl Koch]] took over full control of the zine (beginning with [[Weezine Issue 11 - Fall 1997|issue #11]], which was dedicated as a tribute to the sisters). Production of the zines slowed down significantly at this time, 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 name=inbetween>Koch, Karl. 2002.
