Back towards the end of 2023 radical publishers Silver Sprocket put out an open call for submissions for minicomics. An exciting initiative and a great opportunity for indie artists. The first two (of twelve) of those minicomics to be published by Silver Sprocket have been announced – Lucky Cap Scouts by O. Stevens and Skin Deep by Flo Woolley. More details in the press release below.
A funny and colorful comic about dealing with the sudden arrival of reality!
Lucky Cap Scouts are a series of mystery box figurines, each with their own unique design and personality. When Checkers was unpacked and came alive in their new home, they had no idea about the variety of experiences that being alive had to offer. There are point-and-click video games, new food to taste, friendships with other Scouts — and of course the existential dread. Join Checkers and the Scouts as they figure out life outside the box!
Printed with a spot-gloss cardstock cover and includes a sticker sheet of Scouts in the back of the comic!
40 full-color pages; 6” x 8.5”; ISBN: 979-8-88620-048-5; SRP: $9.99; Release date: 06/26/24
