13th November

Peter Pan has been printed and rewards are being sent out to Kickstarter supporters. Copies have also been sent to Steve Tanner at Time Bomb Comics who will have some copies at Thought Bubble.

I also picked up 2000AD, Pilgrim Issue 3, Bobby Joseph’s Commando and the DC compact edition of V For Vendetta. That will be the weekends reading.

Plus a new ComicScene Culture Review was released this morning – read it here

A week in to our new look! By the time you read this our first substack newsletter for the ‘ComicScene Culture Review’ here may be behind our paywall after being free to read for a week. To unlock it please take out a paid subscription to the substack newsletter. Sorry about that but to help maintain the work we do I think £1 a week isn’t too much to ask is it? Having seen another publisher (Quindrie Press) announce its closure this week (read about it in our latest issue here ) it’s time to take the leap and put a price on the work we do. It won’t make us rich but hopefully will, at the very least, cover the cost of maintaining our website charges.

We have over 6000 subscribers and at least half of those read the substack newsletter in the first week. This is far better than placing a post on social media where the algorithms no longer work for us and the comics we talk about. So no more spamming social media posts for us (not that you saw them!). When we publish a newsletter we hope it’s a good read. Our latest is here – is Dredd going to die? It’s been a busy week so we have another two newsletters coming out over the next few days with more news and a new feature on a classic graphic novel!

This website will be a reference guide, an extension to our Comic Creator Directory, and we welcome any updates or corrections by you at our new email comicscenecr@gmail.com

You can send us indie comics you’d like to make free to read here , send us your reviews here , your letters here and add your classiffieds here . I hope between the substack newsletter and the website we have captured that ‘fandom’ feel that anyone involved or who reads comics can get involved.

I hope to maintain this blog with my own personal comic chat so do come back and take a look from time to time. You’d be most welcome. I’m just back from London. I unfortunately didn’t get down to Gosh but I did chance upon a closed Orbital (quite sad to see, but now I know where it was!) and I also saw a comic exchange in Notting Hill I was unaware of. Perhaps you can let us know more in comments.
