Squishzine Brunstown Vol 2, Vol 3
2 years ago Squishface Comic studio created a brunswick themed comic anthology entitled Squishzine Brunstown volume 1 - it was a roaring sucess and now copies of the anthology have become very rare (they have all gone to good homes!).
You can download a digital version Squishzine Brunstown Vol 1 here.
The studio, which is an artists collective, is now looking to publish volume 2 and 3 of Squishzine Brunstown to showcase the work of artists in the studio today. Both volumes will be 32 pages long and risograph printed by local small press Tree Paper Comics.
As Australia's only open comic book studio we are very proud to be home to some of the most commited and talented artist in Melbourne.

We plan to give away any spare comics after the mailout/ lauch party for free. So every person who helps us get them printed through this Pozible campaign will also get rewards equal to the money they are donating (and the comic books for free!)

How The Funds Will Be Used
Our first target of $4890 will cover printing costs for 500 copies of each book, postage costs and paying our artists.
If we get beyond this goal you will also be contributing to aiding Squishface Comic studio itself to purchase drawing and printing materials. We would love to get a new scanner/printer for our artist to help us make more comics.
