A recommendation! It's the 50th anniversary of the first release of Adele Blanc-sec and sadly we've had very few English releases over those years. In this release are the first 4 albums of hopefully a complete collection further down the line and a must have for any classic comics shelf.

We've only received 4 donations, at this rate we might not meet the goal. Yasmeen is due to start the training course on the 10th Oct & ideally we would need the funds by end of this week to allow time for the transfers. Pls I don't want Yasmeen to lose a chance to support her family financially
Your Ed Sheeran outrage is valid but could you help my Palestinian friend become more self-sufficient 👀👀👀???

Found an old ripped up Mandy from the 70s in a free bin at Oxfam and turned it into some badges for the @dublincomicarts.bsky.social donation box! Drop some coin in the box and take a one of a kind badge!

If you spot typos on this account today it's because it's being run by a committee member with a very broken laptop keyboard. Remember to support your local comic creators so they can afford equipment with working keys!

These categories are less about your desired profession (“I’m an illustrator by trade who happens to have made a comic” - Choose Comic Creator!) but a practical indicator of how many tables of comics we’ll have on the day (since we’re a Comic Arts Fest!)

If you’ll have comics on your table please mark yourself as a Comic Creator on the form! And if you won’t have any comics on your table please don’t say Comic Creator!

And we conclude this journey. I'm a few days out now, and just finished this page sitting in Little Deer. Haven't really had time to process the end of the trip since I've been working every day since, but you'll hear about that I'm sure when Purgatory returns to its weekly slot.
