I've made a new book with the very funny and clever Matthew Dooley, the fourth in our Split series where we both do 50% of it and slap it together. It will be available at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in the Bubbleboy Hall on table F12, or you can pre-order it here: splitcomic.bigcartel.com

I've got just one copy of my comic Five Months on Earth left in stock at the moment. I'll probably do a reprint for Thought Bubble, but if you want to grab a copy now then it's available right here: www.joestonecomics.co.uk/shop/fivemon...

There are some excellent creators involved in this, and comics anthologies are essential to the small press scene and a great way to discover new favourites. Back it if you are able.
BOXES Vol. 3 is 35% funded with two weeks left to reach our goal. It’s getting tight!

Can you help us bring this anthology full of beautiful work by some of the best comics creators around to life?

Take a look here and see what you think: www.kickstarter.com/projects/thi...

Thanks! 📦📦📦

Does anyone think there is a market for a bi-annual, 50ish page comic anthology featuring a mix of new and established talent? Sort of like what Dirty Rotten Comix was doing five or six years ago. Because I have some ideas.

I'll be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this weekend on table C16 in the Redshirt Hall. Come by to grab a copy of my new book AND another bonus item I have planned. I'll also be next to WIP Comics who will have the new anthology we put together on sale for the first time.

I've got a new autobiographical comic coming out at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this year. It's a very personal one and a stylistically very different to every other comic I've ever made. Who should I be sending review copies out to?

Some nice words about the Cartography I made for @colossivepress.bsky.social over on @brokenfrontier.bsky.social. You should buy a copy! They are only £2!

Love a good graphic memoir! Saw this recommended on @joestone.bsky.social's Insta the other day so and I just had to get my copy immediately.

If you enjoyed memoirs like 'Fun House', 'Calling Dr. Laura' or 'Blankets', I'd say you can safely blind buy this one.

Does anyone have recommendations on the best card envelopes to post a standard US Comic sized Trade Paperback style graphic novel?

Deleting all my Tweets from Twitter, so reposting some that I liked here for prosperity. Firstly, the coolphabet: the time I re-arranged the alphabet in order of how cool each letter is, from most cool to least cool (slightly updated from it's initial inception).
