Hi folks!
I’m very excited to say that the 4th volume of BOXES Comic Magazine is well on the way to completion and will be coming to kickstarter soon!
Without further ado, here’s the cover:
The gorgeous artwork is by Aimee Lockwood, showing the Trows from the comic she has created with writer J W Murray.
As always, this volume of BOXES will feature a range of styles from a diverse collection of UK based creators, this time including Enrico Ariis, Faye Stacey, Michelle Freeman, Eleanor Sikorski, Lucy Freeman, Pictii, Mike Armstrong, Jules Valera, Will Hudson, J W Murray & Aimee Lockwood as well as an article from Dominique Duong.
Comics have been starting to appear in my inbox and the quality is really high! I’m looking forward to sharing them with you all, so stay tuned for a proper introduction to all the creators in the coming weeks.
