ComicScene Half Term Comic Round Up

We have been so busy with the ComicScene Awards, the ComicScene Magazine, the Tara Togs kickstarter, free digital comics programme and about to start an update of the Comic Industry Directory so we have missed a LOT of great comic news. But fear not because here is a half term round up for all of you.

Just to say we do rely on your donations to support the costs of running this website. Make a £10 yearly donation or pay whatever you want by clicking the red button on your right (desktop) or below (tablet/mobile). Every little helps keeps ComicScene going!
