Date: Sun, 1 Sep 1996 22:02:52 -0600 (MDT) From: Scott Dutton <[d--tt--n] at [freenet.calgary.ab.ca]> Subject: The Big Mini-Comics List (Sep.96/49kB) ***** For best results: view this with a NON-PROPORTIONAL font ***** ---------------- ======================================================================== 49 kB THE BIG MINI-COMICS LIST (Sep. 1996) 1115 lines ======================================================================== Posted at the beginning of the month in rec.arts.comics.alternative rec.arts.comics.marketplace Maintained by Scott Dutton: [d--tt--n] at [freenet.calgary.ab.ca] (publisher of The Global Gazette) This project was inspired by Andy Hamerlinck's request for information on good mini-comics. In this list you will find books that are not carried by distributors. Mini-comics are self-published and are usually only available in the author's local area, carried by comic book shops that are friendly to the small press. We sell our books through the mail and handle all our correspondence personally. In general, this means that you are getting the best work of a dedicated creator. While each author has only one listing, they often have dozens of other titles available. Ask them if they have a catalogue. You won't be disappointed. For reasonable prices, they may also be willing to do character sketches, greeting cards, etc. Please send all updates and corrections via email. Let's not clutter up the place with fix-it posts. Sending me a copy of your mini means you get a copy of The Global Gazette in return. *** See my listing in the Western Canada section *** Feel free to upload this list to your local bbs's. I ask that it be posted in its entirety and not charged for. Hardcopies of this list are no longer available by regular mail due to its size. Many of the descriptions were written by others. Their input is acknowledged and humbly accepted. Contributors include: JK Carrier, David Tallan, James Lowry, Aaron Burt, Ian Boothby, Craig Moser, Timmon Ark, Julie Rhodes, Marc Moscato, Timothy Kelly, Jonathan Hung, Andy Hamerlinck, Jean-Guy Brin, Morgan Gold, Joseph Torres, Jeff Levine, Joseph Hewitt, Ryan Sluggett, Matt Feazell, Jennifer Zervakis, Perry Lake, Mike White, Oliver Postlethwaite, Tatiana Gill, Ty Smith, JF McKenney, Nathan Olsen, Jennifer Daydreamer, Matthew Kelleigh, Michael Chong, Geoff Hamerlinck. Have I missed your name? Or do you know of mini's not listed here? Let me know, and see your name in phospor lights. If you do NOT want to be listed here, please let me know, and I will pull your name right away. ======================================================================== Information Key: MINI-COMIC TITLE Age: (all, teens+, 18+) (1) Author Price: (including postage) (2) Company Info: please tell us about your Street book, who is it for, what's it City, Province/State about, genre, etc. you have this Postal/Zip Code space to tell us anything you want Country to about your work. (Email Address) (1) I feel it is important for people to rate their work according to content. I think it helps people choose the books they want to read, and avoids offending people with small minds, or confusing small people with growing minds and bodies. Publish whatever you want, but tell people up front what it is they're getting. ALL: Could be read and enjoyed by anyone. No disturbing subject matter, coarse language, or nudity. TEENS+: Complex issues and mature themes are okay here, as I view teens+ as being 15 years and older. Coarse language and minor nudity are okay too, but no sexual nudity. 18+: Hey, we're all adults. Anything goes. A signed age statement must be included in your order if a mini is listed as 18+. (2) Less than $10 in the mail is usually pretty safe in North America. More than $10, send a cheque or money order payable to the AUTHOR, not the company, unless otherwise specified. Cheques between the U.S. and Canada are discouraged, use a postal money order. Overseas, always send postal money orders, do not send cash. ======================================================================== DISCLAIMER: While every attempt is made to provide accurate information, neither myself nor the folks in rec.arts.comics will be held responsible for money lost in the mail due to address changes, people going out of business, etc. Please inform me if this happens to you, though. I'll want to pull them from the list until new information can be verified. I do NOT accept orders for anybody's mini's other than my own. This means that I will gladly accept orders for The Global Gazette (see the Western Canada section). ======================================================================== CONTENTS Western Canada British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Yukon Territory, and the Northwest Territories Eastern Canada Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island U.S.A.
