You might remember a few weeks back Eagle award winning creator Tom Humberstone posted up some advice on how to go about selling your small press comics (see here). Now Tom’s followed it up with an article on printing your own comics: “You know that famous illustration that appeared in a punk fanzine (Sideburns I believe) with the immortal lines “This is a chord, this is another, this is a third, now form a band”? That’s essentially how I feel about starting a comic. If you have a story you want to tell, an idea you’re dying to express, a feeling you need to communicate – all you really require is a pen, piece of paper (or fabric, or tissue paper, or whatever you can draw on) and access to a photocopier. Anybody who tells you different is lying and doesn’t know the first thing about why comics are so amazing and thus, shouldn’t be trusted.”
