Alternative Press so far.

I just finished putting this together for the Alternative Press. It's a kind of summary of what we have achieved over the years. I wasn't going to post this up, but seen as it has been put on facebook I thought I might aswell, took me a while to track down all the pictures and work out the dates.

News on my comic "Gissa Job"

I was approached by a very friendly and kind volunteer who works in a zine shop in Australia called Sticky Institute. They wanted me to send over some copies of my comic/zine "Gissa Job" to stock in their shop, so I thought why not and sent them some copies. Many thanks to Candace for her help and taken this picture for me of my comic in their shop.

 

Here is the link to their zine shop: www.stickyinstitute.com

My comic also got a review by "365 zines a year" blog site which reviews zines and comics. This is the link to the review which caught the attention from my new zine friends in Australia: Click Here
