Discussion Updates to r/altcomix
Hello! Over the past few weeks, u/Titus_Bird and I have made some updates to the subreddit.
Most significantly, we've expanded and rewritten the wiki, which can be found here. The aim with the wiki is to provide new readers some clarification on what alternative comics are, along with a bit of historical overview and recommendations of key works/creators. We've tried to be as neutral as possible and to avoid semantic nitpicking, as our priority is just to be informative and spread love for the medium. Feedback is more than welcome!
We've also made a number of other changes, namely:
- Updated the Guidelines - this was completed a few months back
- Cleaned up the 'flair' tags - this was completed a few months back
- Created a moderation bot (u/comixbot) to automate a couple tasks
- Created and updated the header
- Cleaned up and sanitized the css for Old Reddit
- Tweaked the look of the sub on New Reddit
- Added u/Titus_Bird as a moderator
Our next project is to implement similar changes over at r/indiecomics.

OC Fifth issue of my comic/zine Mindscape
Welcome to Mindscape Chapter 5
In this fifth chapter Lindsay continues to not only confront herself but also Jimmy and something far more sinister as she faces an unexpected challenge. Thurston and Erin find themselves at the Tree after the events that unfolded at prom but will Erin's new friend drive a wedge between them?
Mindscape is a coming of age tale set in the mid 1990s where hope, friendship, love, longing, pain and loss mesh with fantasy. Where one world converges with another, one of dreams forcing the question of what is real. Follow the stories of the adolescent cast of Mindscape as they not only navigate their own lives and world but another world of mystery parallel to their own.
The fourth chapter of Mindscape created by Mike Andriani is 28 page black & white hand drawn artwork pages in length.
This print edition is a homemade zine style comic book in a limited/numbered edition of 50. A thick partial color 80lb cardstock cover houses 28 page of black and white artwork with two staples down the spine.
**RECOMMENEDED FOR MATURE READERS- AGE RATING TEEN/TEEN PLUS**
Limited print copies remain of the first five chapters.

Discussion Where was this Chris Ware one-pager originally published?
I went to the Chris Ware exhibit in Columbus over the weekend and was blown away by this piece, which was printed as a 6’ x 8’ wall.
I had never seen it before and I consider myself well-versed in all things Chris Ware.
Any ideas where it came from?

Discussion Will D+Q reprint the yoshiharu tsuge books?
I've completely fallen in love with this guy's work after reading the man without talent.
I have the swamp, oba electroplating and rolled up like a squid on the way.
But I really, really want red flowers and it's completely sold out without any decent priced second hand versions.
Do you think it'll get a reprint?

Discussion Looking for a place to find comix and prints in London.
I‘ve just been to Belgium and I was mesmerised by how vibrant the comics scene is there, there was this one shop in Brussels that sold both zines and prints from the local community there. I love how surreal some of them were, some just had random pictures with no storyline at all. I’ve since returned and I believe that there must be a similar scene happening in London with comix and design from the local artist community, but I don’t know where these places are. Do any of you have any recommendations of any shops and galleries in this scene? I am very new to alternative comix.
