ComicScene launch History of Comics 1930 – 2030 on kickstarter!

The Part Work has been planned Pre-Covid 19.  Publisher Tony Foster said today, “Following feedback those interested in comics are keen to see more indepth coverage of comic history.  We think this format, giving an overview of each year and looking indepth at UK, US and worldwide comics will be welcome.  Throughout the run we will also capture comics published before 1930 and comic history that isn’t even written yet.  We hope this will be a highly collectable 100 issue series for any comic fan, library, school or university.”

Tony continued, “The format is significantly different from ComicScene with a book feel, modern design and a slipcase to store four editions in if you wish.  Articles will be by comic journalists, specialists, academics and comic creators with new insights that may well surprise you.  Four issues will be sent out every four months so you can ‘binge read’ the featured years.  It will build up to be the definitive history of comics, capturing this exciting time and the golden age of comics.”

ComicScene, who have just re-launched their website at www.comicscene.org, will offer the limited edition History of Comics 1930-2030 series through kickstarter in the first instance.  If funding is successful the books will roll out to comic and book shops in March/April 2021 with a newsstand edition towards the end of 2021.  ComicScene will also be involved in producing comic specific titles with a annual due for Christmas 2020 and Summer Special in 2021.
