Krazybov comics

Who

Just me. One. Editing, compiling, emailing, making the tea. Lots of work, with the only reward being the thousands of adoring fans and paparazzi that follow me to the supermarket (yeah right).

I've managed to infiltrate most corners of t'internet so you could write on my facebook wall, befriend me on MySpace, watch me on deviantART, connect with me on google or completely ignore me on ComicSpace ;) Just please, whatever you do, don't follow me on Twitter.

krazybov comics issue six

What

It's a freely distributed anthology of comic strips from international contributors. Yeah, that's right, freely distributed. And let me tell you that copies disappear fast. But don't fret, once all the print copies for each issue are gone the comic is available to read online or download.

If you've read it or picked it up, please feel free to leave a comment telling me what you think or where you got it. Click here to read issue three

Krazybov depends entirely on contributions from you. If you have anything of quality then I want to see it. You can start by sending me some lo-res samples and if I like them I'll ask for the hi-res's. Best look at the submission guidelines first. Or go straight ahead and download a comic template page here.

It's got a very indie flavour and the aim is to kick start unpublished talent (especially British) and give them a platform they wouldn't find elsewhere.

Where

Copies are distributed for free at shops, marts and events throughout central London, listed below. And believe me when I say that they disappear FAST!

Copies are also available to download or read online after all the printed copies have been given away. Which is cool, but it doesn't compare to having something physical to hold in your hands! Know what I mean? So sign up for a subscription to guarantee getting your copy. I only charge for postage and packing costs so it's dead cheap.

If you'd like it on your shop shelves (and it really doesn't have to be a comic shop) then please let me know.

Previous issues were found at the Comic Marketplace and at Comic Showcase (now sadly dead).

How

The whole thing is funded by ad revenue. Rates are cheap as chips. If you can't afford a full page ad then you could try placing an ad in the classifieds.

Download the media pack for 2010

I welcome ads from other comic creators and publishers but I'm also looking for adverts from other sectors my readers might be interested in. Like computer games, gadgets, bands, conventions and festivals or anything else.

If you want to know how to submit your strip then have a read of the submission guidelines.

When

You can pick up a copy of issue three RIGHT NOW at shops and marts throughout central London.
