Every month I find myself reviewing a fair number of comics, and it’s always a pleasure to let you know about the great work that’s coming out right now. But every month it’s a worry that some things I really, really loved get lost in the sheer amount of posts her on the blog. Which [...]

Le Mime By Zarina Liew Back in 2010 I mentioned Zarina Liew’s Le Mime 2-pager as a fave from the Publish You anthology. Since then she’s continued the adventures of the rosy cheeked silent one online, and in 2012 collected the first two years of Le Mime webcomic in a very polished looking 6inch square little book.

What Is It Katy? En Gingerboom Way back in 2011, I happened upon En Gingerboom’s What Is It Katy? after reviewing one of Gingerboom’s other comics.
