Tom gets it right

by Matt Sheret


Trying to describe, in as succinct a manner as possible, the reasons I wanted to publish something like Solipsistic Pop has been difficult. Discussing the state of the British alternative comics scene, the comic industry in general, the joy of anthologies, and the slow decline of print is not a simple task. These are all complex issues and everyone has their own varying but entirely viable, entirely reasonable opinions on each. Well, perhaps not everyone. But everyone to whom these things matter.


I usually do a rolling tumblog over here, but for one reason or another it went to sleep for a little while. I thought I’d restart it this week, but first flag this up: Tom Humberstone‘s magnificent essay on ‘Getting The Smell Right’ for Solipsistic Pop.
