Don't Miss the Catford Comic and Zine Fair this Sunday December 9th!

It’s the Catford Comic and Zine Fair this Sunday December 9th at the Blythe Hill Tavern, brought to us by that fine father and son small press duo Henry and Stanley Miller (you can read a full Broken Frontier interview with the chaps here from earlier this year). Exhibitors include Olivia Sullivan, Decadence Comics, Centrala, Kim Clements, Andy Poyiadgi, Gareth Brookes, Wallis Eates, Elizabeth Querstret, Joe Decie, Hattie Comics, Joe Stone, our own Tom Murphy’s Colossive Press and so many more! The event runs from 12-5pm with live music afterwards and a chance for the capital’s small press community to enjoy one last comics social celebration before the end of the year.

We’re particularly looking forward to this last London small press extravaganza of 2018 here at Broken Frontier because we’ll be hosting the Communal Table at the fair (as we did at the hugely successful South London Comic and Zine Fair back in July). Below is CCZF’s guide to the Communal Table so please read carefully before bringing your comics on Sunday. We’ll have team members around across the day with some of their own practice on sale and my good self (BF Editor-in-Chief Andy Oliver) will be more than happy to talk to anyone wanting advice on self-publishing or feedback on their work if you come over to the Communal Table.

See you all then!

A guide to the Catford Comic and Zine Fair Communal Table

What to bring

You can bring comics and zines; up to 2 titles per person and no more 5 copies of each please.

We won’t be able to take: prints, badges, patches, T-shirts etc.

Also if your work is A4 or larger, we may only be able to have one title on the table at a time, depending on what the response is like.

You must bring comics and zines in person. We can’t accept comics and zines in the post. Sorry!

What to do when you arrive

When you arrive the communal table will be situated close to the entrance and clearly sign-posted. Andy Oliver is recognisable from his hat.

We will take your comics/zines, and fill in a form so we know what you’ve left with us. We’ll make sure your work is clearly displayed and priced.

CCZF starts at 12 noon, you can leave comics and zines with us at any time, but the earlier you come the more time we will have to sell your work.

After you’ve left your work with us, you are free to enjoy the fair. There are 40 exhibitors selling their work, a wonderful pub, Pizza from Van Dough and live music and poetry from 5pm. So there’s plenty to see and do!

What to do when you leave

You can leave at any time but please come and pick up your money and any unsold comics/zines by 5pm when we end.

Please make sure you pick up your work! We won’t be able to post things back to you and any unclaimed comics and zines may be disposed of!

A couple more things…

We are happy to sell any comics or zines of any kind on any subject, but we do reserve the right to take work off the table if we feel it’s in any way hateful to any group of people.

We will do our best to sell all your work, and may rearrange the table during the day so that everyone gets a decent chance to be seen.
