Some nostalgia for this encouragement to read small press comics. The cork comic creators have link where you can download some of their anthologies from years ago. (Including the 1 I was in) All worth a read. Also go to their Instagram to check out what they are up to now. corkcomiccreators.itch.io

I think I might use bluesky to encourage people to buy indie comics. The first thing I will encourage people to buy is from buddy's @sector13comics.bsky.social. 1 of my books is in their full moon package but honestly anything in their store is great quality. #comics #indiecomics #irishcomics
