Can anybody point me in the direction of some large format comics? I’ve already got the big newspaper version of The Spirit (not my pic) but are there any others I should check out?

I may come to regret this decision, but... SCARF! Sheffield Comic ARts Fair! Next October! Liam "Pais" Hill drew our mascot! Exhibitor application form will be out soon, tables will cost as little as I can get away with! Please remember to apply so this isn't a terrible decision on my part 🙏

Black Friday reminder: You can support independent bookstores and get great deals without lining the pockets of billionaires 😌

Just had some very underwhelming tofu katsu curry. It was sweet inari tofu with some undercooked rice and some very thin curry. I should have known better. This is on me.

It’s day one at MCM Birmingham! We’ve got lots of books with us, including amazing indie manga from @redstringtl.bsky.social, Sword Hunt chapter 1-3 by @iambonidle.bsky.social, Sparrowsong by ALXNDRA Cook and brand new CRYOMEMORY by Kyle Fewell #comics #smallpresscomics

We’re at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social all weekend in the Bubbleboy Hall table C9! Come find us!

We wish a very happy Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all those who observe.

Thought Bubble Festival starts today! A week-long celebration of comics held across Yorkshire! With social events, workshops, talks, and loads of comic goodness for you to enjoy. See the full programme of events here: www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/festivalprog...

9 more backers needed to make our target of 100!!!

thinking out loud theres a weird lack of space for this type of stuff that's not fully mainstream & also not artsy in a d&q, fantagtaphics sort of way. despite those styles being quite popular online. not saying 'shortbox' is a style per se but theres like a sensibility

Damn, this is sad news. This only relates to their US business, but seems the French side is under administration + facing layoffs too. Hopefully, they can pay folks, regroup and keep going. Would be a huge shame to lose a publisher with so much history. bleedingcool.com/comics/comic...

We’re super excited about bringing Cryomemory by Kyle FEWELL to conventions and it will debut at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in November after our successful Kickstarter (you can only get the sticker pack and art print by backing!) But we MAY also be working on some other new books too 👀

Looking to commission an artist for TWO spot illustrations of some original MECHA by the end of the month. Small budget, quick turnaround, but definitely paid work! Any recommendations?

We were fully funded in just over 24 hours, but we're still hoping to hit our stretch goals to upgrade the print and produce more copies! Check out the video and see the campaign here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/kog...

I quite like this! I worry "PRESS" may not reproduce well at smaller sizes, but no doubt this has all been tested. Would love a case study w/ rationale, the brand in use and where the new mascot w/ the flag comes from... but for now I dig it! Nicely done @picturecrotty.bsky.social

my friend kyle's book is up for funding!! i'm so eager to hold a physical copy of this in my filthy hands. if you like cyberpunk mindfucks like ghost in the shell... ya might like this thing.

Feel like I'm a baby wearing a tie when I do business stuff, plan books, pay for things. What am I doing here? Who do I think I am?

So sorry to hear about Matt. I’ve interacted with him a few times when we stocked some Star Fruit titles, was looking forward to talking more about new books. He was always so knowledgeable about manga and Star Fruit was clearly his passion. My thoughts go out to Matt's friends and family.

Reissue in October of "The Art of Tenshi no Tamago" (Angel's Egg). A very rare artbook that has been out of print for a long time. Pre-orders >> www.catsuka.com/shopping/ind...

Gonna be a good one this year! (I mean it's always a good one at T Bubbs but yaknow) See you all there!

This show is so so so good!

I get so excited emailing artists about new books, and other publishers about stocking their titles. I think this whole Koguchi endeavour is just an excuse for me to surround myself with cool comics like some kind of ink-stained Scrooge McDuck diving into a book pool tbh

Stop!! Hibari-Kun! by Hisashi Eguchi! COVER-SPINE-BACKCOVER-OBI REVEAL! And YES, you can pre-order the book (and it comes with a pre-order gift)

“Comics were the first ones to punch Nazis before movies. They are inherently political. One thing they want to do is erase the past, but that’s one thing that this museum celebrates.” Guillermo del Toro at San Diego Comi-con on the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art

Very much enjoyed volume one of Glimm*r, so I'm looking forward to this!

Hello #portfolioday, I'm Bon Idle, a comic creator from Nottingham, UK. My tokusatsu series HENSHIN! is published by @saturdayam.bsky.social and is available wherever manga is sold, and my DnD-inspired series SWORD HUNT is pubbed by @koguchipress.com

We may differ from each other in millions of ways, however, when a single moment connects our lives, then in that slice, there are no differences; there is just you and I. Pick up a copy of Slices of Life on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bul...

I'll be at MACC-POW this weekend!

First batch of Sparrowsong by @alxndracook going out to backers over the weekend! Koguchi Press is run by myself, and while my wonderful fiancée and my brother help out with cons, 90% of the time it’s just me chipping away at stuff in evenings and weekends. So thank you all for your patience!

I just backed Slices of Life: A Comic Montage by Qu on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/bul...
