Mini-Comics galleries

New galleries recently added…a small selection of mini-comics from the UK Small Press. These are mostly A6 and A7 size; A6 is half of A5, A7 is half as much again. An A7 comic could easily be created by printing an A4 sheet on both sides and cutting it into 4 rectangles. Even more clever…

Club Zoo

A drawing from 1987 which was published in City Limits, a now-defunct London listings magazine. Untypical for me as I never really made a decent fist of finding paid illustration work. Also I know nothing about nightclub life!
