If you look back on your mall goth era with a warm sense of reminiscence- you’ll probably like Demon Summoner Gash Gash more than Brian! The yin to the recent yang coverage by The Beat but a nice look back SLG’s publishing history!

SPX is this weekend and I'm still bad at graphic design! Come say hi to @secondatbest.bsky.social who will be manning the ship for both of us. There will be copies of The Hanging, Demon Summoner Gash Gash, Daystar, Trial + Error as well as new and older titles from Strangers and Second At Best.

SPX this weekend!!

JUST LAUNCHED! My new original comic "The Ecstasy of Jenny D" is now funding on Kickstarter! Cherubs, awkward girlhood, divine shenanigans - you know the vibe! Help me make this book a reality: head to the KS link, support and spread the word ❤️ We have 30 days - let's do this! ✨

"So it’s not about the body suffering. Gash Gash is torturing the spirit. The scumwitch stays alive despite each pound of flesh sold. The suffering endures." More kind words from @arpadokay.bsky.social over at The Beat! This time about Connor McCann's Demon Summoner Gash Gash!

Big fan of Paradise Systems and the books they put out. Really looking forward to this one!

“It reminds me of that pre-Star Wars period we had where science fiction was terrifying and non heroic.” Our friends over at The Awesome Comics Podcast gave a really nice overview of @aaronlosty.bsky.social’s The Hanging! Check it out here: www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-3v...

Kickstarter package from @strangers.bsky.social arrived yesterday, but I didn’t notice the parcel until this morning. Two books by @connormakescomics.bsky.social — a good haul, as the kids say.

Awesome book.

New indie small comics landed today by @aaronlosty.bsky.social published by @strangers.bsky.social The Hanging is a beautifully drawn and colored digest sized book. Lovely matte textured paper. Will be reading this powerful looking story tonight!

An incredibly kind and thoughtful review of @aaronlosty.bsky.social The Hanging! "If this is science fiction, it’s the kind that abandons the possibility of what could be for an allegory of the limitations of what is."

This morning I received a fully signed contract for our second manga license! I've been holding on announcing until I've got final covers to share. @joelvdk.bsky.social is designing a great cover for the first and the mangaka for the second title is making a new cover for our release! More soon :)

Since both @glacierbaybooks.com and us have active Kickstarter campaigns going, we thought it would be fun to do a Publister-to-Publisher Conversation. Take a look and then back both of our campaigns! www.bulgilhanpress.com/blog/pub2pub...

Kickstarter! Be better! I’ve stuck with Kickstarter through a lot of shit because the fine folks at Kickstarter United had my back - now we all have to have theirs. Sign this petition for a minimum livable wage and a codified 4 day work week for our colleagues at Kickstarter United.

The first Kickstarter to hit??? Probably!!!

The sheer amount of detail in Pierre Lloga's 2024 Strangers debut; Mabel & Francine continue to amaze me. We decided to print this oversized at A4 or right around magazine size and it was 100% worth it.

Wow, we're so close to $12K!

Two pages from Tyler Landry's 2023 Strangers release; By the Lingering Light of a Slowly Dying Sun. It's been described as 'lo-fi sci-fi' by a kind youtube review, similar to how I lovingly call it 'mumblecore sci-fi.' One of my favorite releases by one of my favorite creators. Copies still avail!

Heard from the printers, looks like the full shipment of The Hanging and Demon Summoner Gash Gash are about 3 weeks from arriving at my door! Cannot wait to get these books in and back out <3

This was quietly announced on Lunar with the launch of the September solicits! GHOUL BUTCHER written by Kirk Oldford with art by Ken Landgraf featuring a back-up story by Strangers alum Adam Falp, who also lettered, colored and helped with design/touchups throughout. Ask your LCS for copies!
