A short comic about Dad.

A grid with 8 panels and a spider drawn in pencil over a photo of the door to my Dad's woodshop. The text reads:"My father liked the number 8. Last digit of his birth year. In numerology, a mountain, a realist, an achiever. SAcred and balanced and infinite. Foundation of the Universe. He was a pillar of mine, at least."

A grid of 8 panels over a photo of a tiny spider on an apple, with a spiderweb dawn in pencil. The text reads: "The night he died I began seeing spiders everywhere. I am weaving a future without you, I am spinning the tale of your life. Over and over. Circling outward from the crushing intersection of your loss. Repairing. Creating."

🌟 IT LIVES! 🌟 The UK Comics Creator Survey is BACK, baby!

Here to gather up, analyse and disseminate your data to help uplift the comics world, like if Robin Hood was a statistician or something.

The comic page. Among the clouds Jenny says “It’s coming!”. Below the text reads: The Ecstasy of Jenny D by Kamila Król. Launching on 11.09.2025 on Kickstarter.

The medieval style book cover is floating on this promo image. On the top the text says: New original comic. Under the cover text says: “Bridgerton meets the dancing plague in this surreal tale of sisterhood, repressed queerness and divine intervention.”

I loved Boxes #1-3, each of which had a selection of amazing and very distinct stories from a diverse range of creative folk. I'm certain Boxes #4 will be equally amazing and would definitely recommend giving it a look!

BOXES is phenomenal. Vol 4 needs to happen so chuck whatever support you can it's way. And if for some reason you've not had the previous volumes, you're seriously missing out and need to get them (there's a tier for that on the Kickstarter!), and just enjoy everything it's about.
