Posted on May 5, 2023 in Comic News, Kickstarters

Next week, Edinburgh-based publisher Quindrie Press will be Kickstarting their latest comic book collection, featuring a promising assortment of up-and-coming Scottish creators telling stories spanning a variety of different genres.

When the Kickstarter goes live on May 10th 2023 (CLICK HERE to be notified on launch), each of the four 48-page books will be available to buy separately for £8, as a bundle for £30, or as a PDF bundle for just £15.

We’ll be bringing you a little more about each of the stories closer to the time, and possible even an advance review or two once the campaign goes live, but for the time being you can find out a little more about each of the books, and the creators involved, below.
