Reveal coming very soon!

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

The Small Press Day mascot Paige, as created by David Ziggy Greene.

Paige will return in Ca-Zine-O Royale...

If you can spare a few shekels, then you should!

We have a fantastic artist working on it now so watch this space. Won't be much longer!

So... #SmallPressDay is sponsored by @brokenfrontier.bsky.social this year. Or to put it more bluntly the entire running costs (hosting, app subs, payment to an artist for this year's poster, etc.) come from my pocket. On top of BF's running losses. So if you enjoy SPD please chip in if you can!

Our sister festival TAGS is open for applications!

It’s a must-attend for anyone that loves small press comics and ttrpgs! x

Get involved with your community.

Get to events, join support groups like @wipcomics.bsky.social, go to comics socials, be involved with small press anthologies, get your work on communal tables at fairs if tabling yourself is too much.

Small pressers elevate each other. It's a beautiful thing.

Take note, small pressers!

Comic book artist search post:

Looking for a Black British artist, preferably from the West Midlands (not essential but would be a big plus), who has a naturalistic style and comfortable with slice of life drama/comedy.

If they're familiar with the 1980s and 90s, that's a big plus, too.
