OFF LIFE, described by its creators as the UK’s only street press comic magazine, is to launch this autumn.

Editor Daniel Humphry says the magazine will feature the best new, undiscovered and underground comics artists taking aim on modern life with adult humour, slice of life storytelling and harsh realities.

In short: if it’s happening out there, it’ll be in here.

Published bi-monthly, OFF LIFE (“Comics for a lost generation”) will be free to read and distributed across London and Bristol in bars, shops, galleries and comic expos.

A free online version of each issue will also be published via www.offlife.co.uk.

The editorial team are inviting any and all interest in the publication. Whether you’re a talent with a story, a potential stockist or an advertiser looking to target our unique market they’d love to hear from you. Check their web site for info
