When asked about the growing subcultures represented in zines in 1991, Robert Ford said, “I think it’s happening all over the place because it must, ‘cause there’s so little of us in ‘mainstream media.’”

As a journalist, activist, and publisher, Ford’s work on zines, THING and Think Ink made an impact across underground scenes across the United States. With 10 issues published between 1989–1993, Ford described wanting to create alternative familial ties, inspired by the support he received from his parents and sister after he came out as gay.

THING stopped publication because of Ford’s declining health as well as financial constraints. At the age of 32, Ford died from complications related to HIV/AIDS.
