We’re soon to embark on our journey up the M1 to sunny Leeds for this year’s ThoughtBubble.
You’ll find us at Table 7 in New Dock Hall. But before you do, we thought we’d give you a taster of Disconnected Press’ weekend:
Countdown to launch: we’ll be launching our latest comic Do Aliens Play Basketball? When we say launch, we really mean “opening the box of new comics beautifully printed by UKComics and putting some out on our table”. We might tweet a photo. We’re low-key like that. Read more about Do Aliens Play Basketball?.
Pimping our wares: we’ll also have copies of our 2013 comics – Disconnected Vol 3 and Sentient Zombie Space Pigs.
Disconnected presents five standalone stories featuring the weird and wonderful things that happen in small towns. Different creative teams, different genres, different art styles: something for everyone.
Sentient Zombie Space Pigs is… aah, if I have to tell you, you don’t deserve it. Read what clever people thought of it here and here.
We have some copies of our 2012 comics still for sale (have a mooch around different pages of the website to find them). We’re out of printed copies of Disconnected Vol 1, though if enough of you ask for it, we’ll probably do another run. The long-promised online version is coming soon…
Reviewing portfolios: we’re always keen to meet new writers and artists. Come and visit us at Table 7 in New Dock Hall. Bring your portfolios – paper or digital – and we’ll have a chat. Expect constructive criticism, suggestions of people you could talk to for opportunities and the occasional whoop of sheer joy!
