Fanzines

Once upon a time, there were many fanzines dedicated to The Divine Comedy, but now the interest seems to have worn out for only a few of them are still available. However, these Fanzines are very interesting for they gave exclusive news, thanks to their close relationship with the management. Unfortunately, this is not the case with fan created websites.

Muse Magazine

Published by the band's management (The Divine Management), Muse was issued as soon as 1997 and wasn't for Fan Club members only. Edited by the well-renowned Claire Shahbazian, Muse Magazine was issued regurlarly until 2003. Now, the internet based Inner Circle has taken over.
