ComicSpace up and (fully) running

By John Freeman on February 5, 2007

The new online comics community ComicSpace, described as “MySpace for comics creators and fans” is now fully up and running and if you’re so inclined, there are now some fantastic samples from many British artists on the site, including Bill Greenhead and Andy Oldfield’s Judge Smeg; Garen Ewing’s Rainbow Orchid; James Turner’s Beaver and Steve ; Neill Cameron’s simply gorgeous Thumpculture; and much, much more besides.

This is a great place to see plenty of lively, enthusiastic comic creators doing what they do best and the best part if, you can even narrow your search down to creators who might live in your own town or county. Which I suppose might be a little scary for the creators involved if you start turning up on their dorrstep demanding autographs. Check it out.
