Here’s a preview of some artwork from TGC issue 5, by (L-R) MJ Wallace, Katie Ravenscraig and Claire Yvette.
You can pre-order the comic from our Kickstarter page, which is open for another 2 weeks. You can also get all the back issues from there, and a few other nice things!
The submissions for issue 5 have started to roll in, it’s all very exciting! We’re going to have a great mix of old and new contributors, as our numbers have grown significantly since issue 4 last year.
We’ve had a bit of press coverage over the past week, mainly from Down the Tubes, Broken Frontier and Forbidden Planet.
Also, don’t forget the Kickstarter campaign is still ongoing. TGC member Kat Sicard explains why it’s still worth making a pledge:
“So what more could we want? Now, we’re hoping to get enough funding to print back issues that have sold out, and pay for conventions. We’ve been to Thought Bubble, Glasgow Comic Con, London’s Small Press Expo, Hi-Ex in Inverness, and others. Travel and tables are expensive, and we often end up out of pocket, but it’s a great way to meet fans as well as possible new contributors. If we want greater involvement from women across the UK, we need to get out there so more people know about us and that we want to hear from them.”
We reached our Kickstarter target! So to celebrate, here’s a preview of the front cover design, by Coleen Campbell.
Thank you so much to everyone who has pledged so far, and helped spread the word about our campaign. We’ve been really touched by the level of support we’ve received.
We still have 30 days left and plenty of rewards too. The more money we can raise, the more comics we can make!
We’ve launched our Kickstarter campaign! TGC needs your help to raise money for our 5th issue, which should be our biggest and best yet. Have a look at all the rewards we’ve got on offer!
We totally forgot to mention, Gill was on the telly a while back! The feature on Scottish comics starts about half way through and was filmed at 24 Hour Comics Day.
A couple of photos from the weekend. TGC are very busy right now, we’ve got our Kickstarter campaign coming up, and we’re working on a new website, on top of preparations for issue 5!
In the meantime, here’s a Down The Tubes feature on all the creators that attended Hi-Ex this year.
Some photos of the Yuck n Yum zine fair in Dundee a couple of weeks ago. The event had a great mix of comics, zines and crafty stuff on offer, and included some of our comics pals from Superclub, Guts Power and UniVerse.
