This list was inspired by Andy Hamerlinck's request for information on
good mini-comics.
Please send all updates and corrections via email. Let's not clutter up
the place with fix-it posts. Sending me a copy of your mini means you
get a copy of The Global Gazette in return.
*** See my listing in the Western Canada section ***
Please feel free to upload this list to your local bbs's. I ask that it
be posted in its entirety and not charged for. Hardcopies of this list
are no longer available by regular mail due to its size.
Many of the descriptions were written by others. Their input is
acknowledged and humbly accepted.
Contributors include: JK Carrier, David Tallan, James Lowry,
Aaron Burt, Ian Boothby, Craig Moser, Timmon Ark, Julie Rhodes,
Marc Moscato, Timothy Kelly, Jonathan Hung, Andy Hamerlinck,

Have I missed your name? Or do you know of mini's not listed here? Let
me know, and see your name in phospor lights. If you do NOT want to be
listed here, please let me know, and I will pull your name right away.
*** PLEASE: Only ONE entry per author. You can list everything you've
done in YOUR catalogue!
========================================================================
Information Key:
MINI-COMIC TITLE Age: (all, teens+, 18+) (1)
Author Price: (including postage) (2)
Company Info: please tell us about your
Street book, who is it for, what's it
City, Province/State about, genre, etc. you have this
Postal/Zip Code space to tell us anything you want
Country to about your work.
(Email Address)
(1) I feel it is important for people to rate their work according to
content. I think it helps people choose the books they want to read, and
avoids offending people with small minds, or confusing small people with
growing minds and bodies. Publish whatever you want, but tell people up
front what it is they're getting.
ALL: Could be read and enjoyed by anyone. No disturbing subject
matter, coarse language, or nudity.
TEENS+: Complex issues and mature themes are okay here, as I view teens+
as being 15 years and older. Coarse language and minor nudity
are okay too, but no sexual nudity.
18+: Hey, we're all adults. Anything goes. A signed age statement must
be included in your order if a mini is listed as 18+.
(2) Less than $10 in the mail is usually pretty safe in North America.
More than $10, send a cheque or money order payable to the AUTHOR, not
the company, unless otherwise specified. Cheques between the U.S. and
Canada are discouraged, use a postal money order. Overseas, always send
postal money orders, do not send cash.
========================================================================
DISCLAIMER: While every attempt is made to provide accurate information,
neither myself nor the folks in rec.arts.comics will be held responsible
for money lost in the mail due to address changes, people going out of
business, etc. Please inform me if this happens to you, though. I'll
want to pull them from the list until new information can be verified.
I do NOT accept orders for anybody's mini's other than my own. This
means that I will gladly accept orders for The Global Gazette (see the
Western Canada section).
