The zine was co-authored by G.B Jones and Bruce LaBruce and is credited as being one of the first and most influential queer zines. [1] [2] The zine's content was centred around anarchic queer-punk themes and heavily discussed queer-skewed punk music from the late 1980s. [3]
HeartattaCk was a punk zine, [3] along the lines of Punk Planet and Maximumrocknroll with a strong bent towards hardcore punk and anti-consumerism.

[3] [4] Inspired by the editors of J.D.'s, and other anarchists, Jennings and Nihilson returned to San Francisco and began the Homocore zine. The first issue was published in September 1988. Although their initial audience was the queer underground within the San Francisco area, letters published in later issues came from readers around the world.
The first issue of the zine was published in May 1994, in part as a response to the perception that Maximum Rock and Roll was becoming too elitist. [2] [4] [5] In September 2006, Punk Planet had printed 75 issues of their bi-monthly publication, and in the fall of 2004 launched a book publishing arm, Punk Planet Books, in conjunction with the New York-based small press Akashic Books.

Punk zines have spawned a considerable amount of punk-oriented fiction, some of which has made an impact outside of punk circles. Many of the major works of Kathy Acker reflect themes of punk literature, most notably Blood and Guts in High School.
