Small Press and Independent Publishers are the real hope of the comics industry for continued creative viability. Face it, the big guys are often limited by what they can sell to the corporate accountants running the show. Their myopic vision has focused the field down to a capes-and-long-underwear mentality that has slowly eroded comics readership to all-time lows. Don’t get me wrong, I love super-heroes, but comics can be that and more-- so much more. If the current trend is to be reversed-- if comics are to survive as a medium-- creative people like the guys and gals whose sites are listed below will be a major reason. Check them out. You’ll find variety, satire, adventure and more fun than a poke in the eye!*
Oh, and be sure to bookmark ol’ West Street before you leave. We wouldn’t want to lose a Streeter, now, would we?

Candle Light Press. A cool site for cool comics. This one skimps on words but has some great quick loading graphics and animated gifs. Hey, who needs words when a picture is worth so much more? Home of Shades and Angels, Zoo Force and The Scrounge. |

Dan Berger’s gutwallow: the Gingerbread Man. Much of the intent of this series is to explore gutwallow’s discoveries about the world and his journey to discover his self. Goals are not always what they seem, and when attained, they do not always bring what we had hoped for... The world is a complicated place, even for cute little gingerbread men. |
