There's a glut of reasons ShortBox is closing, but it's not due to a lack of readership. The reason we've been able to exist is due to the fantastic -and still growing- support of our readership. The audience for complex, weird, intelligent, visually interesting comics is there

Indie comics publisher @Short_Box is closing down, and comics is all the worse for it. Here's why: thepopverse.com/shortbox-clo…

ShortBox is closing down, and comics is all the worse for it

ShortBox is closing down this month, and it's a loss that will make comics worse - and a sign that the audience has failed comics, as a whole.

Last year, cartoonists took in over £300k in sales at @SBComicsFair -in just 1 month. It's not an issue of a lack of interest or readership, but general infrastructure and resources (i.e. there not being any) in comics almost across the board. It is, or becomes, unsustainable

The main reason SB is closing (and it took me a while to realise) is that I'm not interested in running a business. I don't want to do marketing, social media, conventions, admin, customer service, print prep, and on and on. I just want to do editorial curation and direction.

This week’s ShortBox-is-closing offer: @torpordust’s brilliant, heart-wrenching, era-spanning ‘Homunculus’ - for only £9 (instead of its usual £12). Still the book that people come up and talk about more than any other. shortbox.co.uk/

This is one of the best comics I own. If you like kaiju or just want to read something funny, this is the comic for you!

This book is awesome, a showcase of what @HeGotGronch brings to the table (besides gronch). Get it ordered while the amazing @Short_Box still has stock.
