Alternative Comix Mega-Launch : Comix Reader 2, Static Revolter 2, & The Black Project
Ellen Lindner writes :
"This mega-mega-mega launch celebrates the launch of the second issue of the Comix Reader, edited by Richard Cowdry and featuring work by Lord Hurk, Tanya Meditzky, Eliot Baggott, Barnaby Richards, Julia Homersham and many, many more. BUT! On this very evening we will also see the launch of The Black Project, a dark adolescent tale in writing, linocut and embroidery by Comix Reader contributor Gareth Brookes, and - as if that were not enough! - Static Revolter 2, a surreal, mad, and utterly wonderful pamphlet by Comix Reader cover artist Lord Hurk and Comix Reader contributor Kevin Ward. We're fairly excited for this triumvirate of excellent publications to hit the streets! Look for us on the ground floor..."

The Comix Reader Issue 2.... now available!!
The Comix Reader issue 2 made it's debut last weekend at the International Alternative Press Fair!
It was a close call to get it ready in time. The pages went to the printer (in Yorkshire) on Wednesday afternoon. It was printed Wednesday night, picked up by the delivery company on Thursday, and arrived in London on Friday, in time for the fair on Saturday!
See the image below for content details. There are a lot of artists you may be familiar with from Comix Reader 1, and we warmly welcome Bernadette Bentley, Barnaby Richards, Joe Sumner, Kevin Ward, Hannah Meditzky, and Elliot Baggot!
So far the new issue is at Gosh! and Orbital, and it'll roll out to the other shops over the next few weeks.
