my SBCF comics recommendations list - this is still missing some that I did read but haven't had time to add, and some that I want to read but haven't had time to yet - this year's comics crop has been of incredible quality:

It's the final 24 hours to get comics from the Shortbox Comics Fair, including my comic, Home by the Rotting Sea: shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-… For the last daily showcase, here's the final color palette test I made before starting the comic. :] It feels pretty nostalgic now!

Those Who Leave by cowlick @cowlickmeadow This personal contemplation on Chinese death rituals is one of those comics that manages to mend and hurt your heart in perfectly bittersweet proportions, a beautiful and detailed account in just 23 pages: shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-…

SACRED BODIES by VER @verface A negotiation between a newly wedded couple that takes an angle not usually explored in a dynamic like this, but where it fits like a glove. And, you know, it looks THIS stunning: shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-…

BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA by Olivia Stephens @OliveOilCorp Kinetic, live-wire storytelling. Olivia's markmaking is so unique & effective here, the story flows with horrible & well-realized resolve to its conclusion, - an aching, beautiful read: shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-…
