Noticed a phenomenon that struck me as odd Sunday at the zine fair. My zines were displayed with the front cover visible.

People who were interested almost universally picked up a zine, looked at the cover, then opened to a random page, typically before the centerfold, in the first half of the pamphlet, but not the first page.

When you pick up a zine, what's the first thing you look at besides the front cover? Comment if there's nuance.

Please boost, I need answers.
