Indie comic creators and publishers aplenty lined up for London “Brew Zine 24”

By John Freeman on June 3, 2024

The Gipsy Hill Brewery in South London will be the venue for Brew Zine Comic & Zine, a zine and comic fair happening on Sunday 7th July 2024.

With the mantra “Come for the beer, stay for the zines (or vice versa!)”, the fair, taking place in the rooms of the brewery, will feature distribution tables, a communal table, workshops and zine swaps. There is quite a strong focus on both zines and comics.

Creators and independent publishers due to take part include Another Subculture, Broken Frontier, Mel Choong, Colossive Press, Idiot Corpse, Decadence Comics, Hayley Gullen, Gareth Hopkins, Ieuan & Caela, Julie Innes, Rebecca K Jones, Jade King, LDComics, Rianna Mackenzie, Emilia McKenzie, Peter Morey, Nancy Art, Mark Pawson, Zoe Pencil, Ed Pinsent, and WIP Comics.

It follows the local South London Comic and Zine Fair, and Gipsy Hill’s previous Gipsy Hill Comic Fair (2017) with some of the same organisers.
