UK Indie distributor Smallzone is now selling the first issue of New British Comics, an 80-page comics anthology featuring, 13 stories and 17 artists including Dave Thomson, Malcy Duff, Paul O’Connell and Rob Miller.
Reviewed by us here last month, the book has been self-published in Poland in both a Polish and English edition by Karol Wisniewski, the contents and strips are the same in both editions but the only difference is language.
New British Comics is now available through SmallZone’s online shop – smallzone-shop.co.uk, and Karol tells us that other UK
shops should soon be distributing the book, too.
The book will be sold at Bristol Comics Expo at the SmallZone stand.
