TCAF is proud to champion comics as a vital art form. In this political climate, protecting the arts as a source of revolutionary self-expression has never been more important.​ But like many nonprofit arts orgs, TCAF is experiencing financial challenges.

Picked up Cole Pauls-curated Salmon Run collection a little while back and was completely blown away by this cartoonist’s comic, “Momentum.” Super-excited for this and to pick up their new zine at TCAF.

Announcing the first of our 2026 graphic novels: I DREAMT OF U <3 by @mkchibs.bsky.social Check out the summary and more information about Maya at our press release: www.balustradepress.com/publication-...

Cover of a comic called I DREAMT OF YOU by Maya McKibbin. The image is largely pink with yellow, purple, and orange accents. It's a close-up of two faces embracing each other's faces, looking into each other's eyes, like they're about to kiss. They each have cyberpunk, circular gadgets on the sides of their heads, which are connected by jagged white lightning. Above their head are ghostly salmon.
