In support of the ComicScene spotlight on U.K. and Ireland comics this month… We celebrate the diversity and creativity of our indie community by looking back at some of our past discoveries, highlighting a very small sample of our favourites here at Supanova Media.

These are homegrown stories of genuine talent, among many that have inspired us over the years, and that we recommend to others who might not have had the opportunity to read them yet. 

In no order of preference, from left to right we show here:
