General / Crowdfunders you might like
04 March, 2024, 08:50:07 AM
There are several crowdfunders from the UK Squaxx Dek Thargo may love so I thought I'd start a new thread.
Crowdfunders are like pre ordering your 2000AD and Treasury Books.

The 68 page Tara Togs The Silence of Unicorns by Stref is inspired by Herge's TinTin and was funded in six hours. If you like strong Halo Jones heroines then you will enjoy this. The book was called a 'intelligent and superb work' by David (V For Vendetta) Lloyd.  Check it out here

If you missed the Crowdfunder for ComicScene Spring Issue then you are also missing a new KekW / Charlie Gillespie strip called Ruby Tuesday.  Check it out at the ComicScene Store

Church of Hell was written by Alan Grant with art from the likes of Glenn Fabry, Simon Bisley and Clint Langley.  Check it out here

The guys is a Zenith style hoot (it has superheroes!) which you can support here and Matt Garvey's Gangster versus Nazi's looks like a lot of fun here  Only a few hours to support this one.

So if you love 2000AD and UK comics these are all worth your galactic groats.

Books & Comics / Catch up with the History of Comics
28 September, 2021, 08:42:52 AM
TWO WEEKS TO PLEDGE FOR HISTORY OF COMICS
14 days to go and we are 90% towards the final goal for the History of Comics kickstarter.  Plenty of 2000AD coverage over the books from 1977 onwards!
If you haven't already please make your pledge now and share.  You can get the four new books with optional slipcase or catch up with all twelve books in the series.
We are also donating 25 History of Comics books to public and school libraries and we'd love to send more!  Remember you can 'add on' your donation as well as get other ComicScene publications you may have missed.
If the books aren't for you please do donate a book to a library anyway.  We will send you a free digital History of Comics to say thank you or if you donate four books you get access to all the current books in digital.  We'd love to donate at least 100 books and share our love for comics so any help appreciated.
Thanks again for all your support.  Pledge here

Books & Comics / ComicScene Sale
03 July, 2019, 11:10:21 AM
ComicScene has a half price summer sale on - you can get digital back issues for £1.50 and print issues for £3.
www.getmycomics.com/comicscene
Catch up with ComicScene, complete your collection and subscribe!  It's a great time to jump on board, with the current issue 5 (the Summer Special!)
For a small investment you are helping us continue the magazine and spread the word to other dedicated comic fans and potential new comic readers. 
Feedback from our newsstand readers is they are discovering a world of comics they thought didn't exist anymore, which is really positive, and experimenting not only with the 2000AD and 'nostalgia' market but some new comics and graphic novels too.
Your investment also helps us get the magazines into libraries, guiding them what comics to purchase. We are also working on a pull out comic to be passed on to young kids - leaving the 'adults' the rest of the magazine to read while encouraging the next generation of 2000AD and comic readers!
We hope you can support this work and there is something in the sale for you. As they say, every little helps and thanks.
