This is the pile of indie/small press comics and graphics titles that we eventually ended up with on Saturday’s meeting last week. There’s a couple of Deadstar titles, Scar, many others plus Fetishman.

July’s meeting is fast approaching and so here’s this month’s poster. The main part of discussion will be about indie comics and small press - we’ll even be chating about our favourite webcomics. I’ll be bringing in a selection of indie/small press comics that I own and I’m hoping others will bring their faves along too. Considering the recent pieces on whether or not the UK even has a comic book industry anymore, this is definitely a meeting you can’t afford to miss. So, come along to Loading at 2pm on Saturday 28th July. All are welcome. EK

An interesting article has popped up over on The Spectator about the lack of a fully realised British comic book industry that can rival that of the US or the rest of Europe. While missing in a lot of details, I think the argument about distribution getting in the way is one of the key reasons. Some of the comments after the piece really help to flesh it out too. Meanwhile, the New Stateman has a great counter article to the one written by Abbot. Still, I don’t believe things are as healthy as they could be. Because of the distribution problems over here, we’ve got no clear picture of whether UK comics are selling well enough in the UK to actually make back the money that the small press and larger establishments, like Rebellion, are putting into them.

riotghost: Hey nerds quit reading your faggy teen fiction and go buy Robert Hunter’s totally underrated indie comic ‘The New Ghost’. The art and story line are stunning.  That reminds me, July’s meeting of Cornwall Graphic Novel Group is going to be taking a look at indie publications. So bring your fave indie and small press gems along* and let us know why you love them. *Web comics are also up for discussion EK
