BOXES Vol. 3 Preview Pages, Final Week on Kickstarter & Comic Shows

Hi folks,

I hope you’re all doing well! I’m currently in the process of putting together the print files for BOXES Comic Magazine Vol. 3. The finished pages have been flowing in from the creators over the last few days and they look amazing. I’m so pleased with how this new issue is turning out!

We are entering the final week of funding on Kickstarter so if you have still to back for your copy, you have until around 12pm (UK time), 9th December to do so.

Preview Pages

I’ve selected four pages from the comics in BOXES Vol. 3 to show you how good this collection is looking. Let’s have a gander!

At Sea by Savannah Storm

Star/Crossed by Elliot Hanks

Murder Ballad by J W Murray and Fran Morton

& Mildred’s Adventures in Unemployment by Millie Strachan

Some top-tier cartooning, I hope you’ll agree!

We are just over 50% funded as I type, so still have a bit to go before the campaign ends on Monday 9th December. Every backer was crucial to getting the last two volumes made so if these pages have wheted your appetite, please consider backing this collection here.

Thanks.

Comic Shows!

Since I last wrote, I’ve had ThirdBear Press at two comic shows.

Thought Bubble - ECAF

First up was Thought Bubble which was extremely busy this year, especially the Saturday. It was great to see many of you in person and just immerse myself in talking about comics for a whole weekend!

Thanks to those of you who picked up your pre-orders of Sycamore at the show. This was something I hadn’t tried before so it was a relief when you all showed up to collect them! I may do this again, but just open to anything on the store generally next year. We shall see.

Last weekend was ECAF at the Drill Hall in Leith. It’s small and has a really local vibe that this year, was accentuated by the fact that it coincided with the only day of snow we’ve had so far this winter. We all battled through the weather to get to a baltic hall where our hearts were warmed by people finding their new favourite comics (as well as hot chocolate and later, mulled wine). All in all, a good time!

There’s just one show to go for the year. TAGS, will be this weekend (Saturday 7th December) at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh. Make sure to pop in if you are in town. This show concentrates on showcasing the small press scene of comics and table top game makers. I had a great time there last year so I’m looking forward to this one.
