New anthology launch - The Great Jam Parade ...And That

 

They said it couldn't be done, but it HAS BEEN DONE. Paper Jam has put out a second anthology in 2024. This one is an all-ages parade of fun.

In The Great Jam Parade ...And That we aimed to do comics that are more aimed at younger readers than our other anthologies are (less swearing and miserableness etc) resulting in a real mix of comics across a huge variety of genres!



Featuring work by Andrew Gardner, Andy Houghton, Ben Clark, Bex Foster, Britt Coxon, Chris Longstaff, Danny Gaffney, Dylan Lloyd-Davies, Franklin Von Cole, Jack Waugh, James Kerry, Jennifer C. Wilson, Masked Emerald, Michael Dodsworth, Michael Duckett, Oscillating Brow, Paul Thompson, Rowan Lee, Schrödinger’s Kitten, Sid Phoebus, Torgo Wells, and Yewberry. The delightful cover (above) is by Andy Houghton (compiling drawings by various dafties of Paper Jam). It's all cheery chaotic fun.


We're launching this fine publication with a party - Saturday 30th November, 11am-3pm, at Newcastle City Library. It's free in, there'll be a load of daft drawing games (no skill necessary), you can pick up the new anthology, our older ones, and loads of great comics and zines from members of the collective. It'll be fun! Drop by anytime!


If you can't make it to the launch, you can get your hands on it if you see us at one of our upcoming stalls, or we'll have copies in Travelling Man comic shop, or we'll have it for sale through our bigcartel webstore!
