Reglar wiglar was first published in 21 issues from 1993 to 2005 as a print-only zine, focusing on Chicago bands and concerts. At its peak, each issue consisted of 100 pages with a circulation of 2000 distributed through the retail chain Tower Records and the zine distributor Desert Moon. When print publication ceased, a Reglar wiglar blog was started, followed by a digital magazine in 2010, before a return to print in 2014. Over the years, the zine has often featured satire: interviews with made-up artists (e.g., the “controversial rapper Enenen”), reviews of non-existent records, or parody reviews. It has also continued to feature real musicians—from the well-known metal group Lamb of God to local bands like Lollygagger and Summer Girlfriends—as well as comic artists.
