Queendom is a 98-page gen zine with a focus of the band Queen.

front cover

The art is by Jean C., Debra McWilliams, and Kathy Bennett.

The zine contains black and white illustrations, hand-colored tarot cards, poems, and RPF fiction. The cover is hand-colored with silver paint.

Some of the fiction takes place with the members of the band exploring outer space, magic, and a "bizarre alternate universe" called "Queenlandia" which includes hippogriffs, space ships, giant robots, a monster called "Death on Two Legs," and more.

One story is a crossover with Starsky & Hutch (featuring the two cops in a non-explicit slash relationship), with more spaceships.
