This mega-mega-mega launch celebrates the launch of the second issue of the Comix Reader, edited by Richard Cowdry and featuring work by Lord Hurk, Tanya Meditzky, Eliot Baggott, Barnaby Richards, Julia Homersham and many, many more. BUT! On this very evening we will also see the launch of The Black Project, a dark adolescent tale in writing, linocut and embroidery by Comix Reader contributor Gareth Brookes, and – as if that were not enough! – Static Revolter 2, a surreal, mad, and utterly wonderful pamphlet by Comix Reader cover artist Lord Hurk and Comix Reader contributor Kevin Ward. Learn more at http://www.thecomixreader.com/ – we’re fairly excited for this triumvirate of excellent publications to hit the streets! Look for us on the ground floor

It’s always great when we get flyers, it makes me feel really good to know that people are willing to invest their time and efforts to be a part of Alternative Press, here are some we have had recently from Kate McMorrine, Dave Z Green, Saban Kazim and one by Me too!

If you want to do one, then please send it to me jimigherkin – at – yahoo . co . uk, it’d be cool to have a series of different characters reading a zine or something like the couple you see below.

Also, we’re hoping to put a book out of all the flyers done since our first ever event in 2008!

Love all round, jimi gherkin x
