Boarders Independent (aka small press) Comics

[starscape]

Where do you sell your comics? Specialist shops? Record stores? Cool-cat cafes? Oxfam?

There's a few for sale at the Superhero Store (www.superherostore.co.uk) including the now unavailable (IIRC) Solar Wind #1

People tend to sell on their websites, maybe at Smallzone, comic festivals and sometimes at their local comic shops, bookstores and newsagents.

There's a new scheme to help sell comics in shops that needs volunteers to act as reps, as well as new publishers to come onboard.  If interested, go to the link below

Despite the mad hassle that was printing B&B I?d still like to do something in landscape A5 sometime, in a similar manner to garys letterbox format.

Tulkas, I use Illustrator (10) to letter my pages now. After a shaky start I am beginning to get the results I like.

Jim Campbell put together guide for lettering on Illustrator that I found invaluable in getting going with the program. I'll put a link down below.

I have firmed up my running order and I have two A5 space available for ads. I suppose that the smaller the ad, the more I can put on!

If you have ad space to swap with other Indy comics, then there is the Yahoo Group is set up called Ad Swap, just for that.  A place to upload files etc.  Only about 6 comics in it, but I didn't have time to get the leaflets done in time with all me Solar Wind malarky.

Cheers

Paul
