The Comix Reader is a British comics newspaper inspired by the free spirit of 60's underground comix and early comics newspapers like Comic Cuts and Ally Sloper's Half Holiday. It presents a unique blend of established talent, new discoveries, outsider art and unsung heroes of the art form. It’s contributors are a rogues gallery of the UK’s funniest, edgiest and weirdest cartoonists.
The paper is sold at music festivals, comedy gigs, in pubs, bookshops, record shops, on the beach and on the street.

"There really is no reason not to pick it up next time you're in a comic shop." Existential Ennui Read their full review of issue 1.

“The creative minds behind the Comix Reader are an enthusiastic and prolific group of contributors whose sketch jams, talks and meetings make for an unprecedented underground scene.” GOSH!

"the most alternative of the current anthology set" - Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet
