I've got just one copy of my comic Five Months on Earth left in stock at the moment. I'll probably do a reprint for Thought Bubble, but if you want to grab a copy now then it's available right here: www.joestonecomics.co.uk/shop/fivemon...

It’s given me a pretty good foundation in organising and putting together that sort of book for sure, but I’ve been thinking about something more regular and more highly curated. Not a million miles off what Dirty Rotten Comix were doing back in the day.

There are some excellent creators involved in this, and comics anthologies are essential to the small press scene and a great way to discover new favourites. Back it if you are able.

ThirdBear Press @thirdbearpress.bsky.social · Nov 24

BOXES Vol. 3 is 35% funded with two weeks left to reach our goal. It’s getting tight!

I meant to come and find you and pick up the previous volumes at Thought Bubble but never got a chance in the end. Backed this to get all three volumes.

Yep, when establishments group the Beano and X-men with Persepolis and Cages it’s no wonder the public don’t take comics seriously. Not to say Beano and X-Men don’t have merits of their own, but the audiences are so vastly different.

If you missed out on getting a copy of me and Matthew Dooley's new comic SPORT at Thought Bubble then fear not, it's now available to buy online. The third book in this format we've done, it's been described as "another hit" and "witty". Buy it now from splitcomic.bigcartel.com

Saw this at the cinema a few weeks back. Curious to know your thoughts.

Joe Stone @joestone.bsky.social · Nov 22

I think about this a lot. I’ve long thought it starts with the way they are sold. In mainstream bookshops ‘comics’ are treated as one single genre which is an instant turnoff for some people, they should be spread throughout the shop: Maus in the history section, Heartstopper in Romance, etc

Nice one, I’ll get myself signed up!

Oooh, is this like Letterboxd for music? I need some new things to listen to.
