Kickstarter Feature: 2dcloud’s Summer 2017 Collection

One of the things I love about the small press comics scene is its vibrancy. There are so many vital cartoonists making work that is mind-altering and life changing. I’ve read and reviewed books this year that have made my head spin. I’ve read comics that have changed the...

Thoughts on the Formal Aspects of Small Comics feat. B.ü.Lb comix
