Just launched is a new indie UK publisher, Great Beast, described as “the home of the UK’s best independent comics and creators.”
The brainchild of creators Adam Cadwell and Marc Ellerby, Great Beast aims to provide the most fun and creative stories to as wide an audience as possible. All of their titles will be creator owned and professionally self published.
The fledgling publisher launches with two collections of successful self published and award nominated comics to Great Beast; Marc Ellerby’s Chloe Noonan: Monster Hunter series, and the vampire slacker series Blood Blokes by Adam Cadwell.
Both creators will also be publishing long-awaited collections of their previous web-comic work, Ellerbisms and The Everyday, later in the year.
