Death of Comics Bookcase
Comics Bookcase as a news/reviews website may be dead (see the archives), but this is now a home for my comics writing (me being Zack Quaintance)! This year saw the launch of my second Kickstarter, the 48-page multi-genre book, Death of Comics Bookcase Vol. 1, which featured six amazing comics artists and made more than $12K!
If you missed the campaign, you can find places to snag a copy below:
Etsy Shop: There are a limited number of issues of the book available via my Etsy shop. Shipping is included in every order, and your package will go out in 1-2 days.
Fantom Comics: If you happen to live in the Washington, D.C., area…you can find some issues with the McCrea Cover for sale now at Fantom Comics! A wonderful shop located in Dupont Circle. Follow them on IG, if you don’t already!
In November, I’m re-launching my newsletter. Each monthly installment will have a new sketch of one of our Death of Comics Bookcase characters from a new fantastic comics artist. Use the newsletter sign-up below to make sure you don’t miss that!
