My father, Tomasz, passed away on Christmas Eve. If you've met him or are curious about his life, please take a look at the obituary in my profile links. I will miss discussing science fiction and geopolitics with him. RIP.
Happy Holidays! Here’s a peak at the covers for issue #3 of The Jungle! Regular “Sunrise” cover by Tom Neely, and the Variant “Full moon” cover by our amazing friend Nicole Goux!!!
Weekend video: Eero Johnson 'reading' Kozmo Knot… dig the beatnik vibes! Originally presented at the Uncivilized Silent Comics Symposium earlier this month. A few copies of this unique comic object are still available in our shop.
Warehouse find! A single copy of Matt Madden's coveted Ex Libris hardcover turned up! Ex Libris is Matt's masterpiece, a beautiful graphic novel in the mould of the metafictional works of Borges and Calvino. Link in the image.
Tonight! See you there? 🧐 The Silent Comics Symposium! Odd Mart! 7 pm! Last-minute addition: Eero Johnson! Come for djembe drumming, beat poetry, live scoring, micro-compositions, and brick-a-brack symphonies!
