Heads up! We will not be shipping comics between Friday, July 11 & Monday, July 28th. If you need any good summer reading material, we recommend ordering before next Friday! Though, there are 4 international soccer tournaments happening during that time, so you could just watch some games instead.

We've added A Visit to Popham Beach by @ashantifortson.com to our distro! It's a great zine about feeling disconnected from a place that used to feel like home. Ashanti gives their writing & contemporaneous drawings a lot of room to breathe in the salty sea air www.radiatorcomics.com/shop/uncateg...
zine cover: a fine-line drawing of seaweed splayed diagonally across a cream-colored paper center two-page spread of a zine. One page features a sketchy drawing of a person sitting in the shallow water on a beach, looking off into the sea. The next page features a detailed drawing of seaweed. both pages feature text in a type-writer style font. The zine is bound with thin blue yarn (or thick blue string).
