This is a really lovely thing created by the staff at the Oxfam Blackheath shop. An anthology zine featuring comics, illustration and text on local folklore. It was launched on #SmallPressDay and there's a link to buy copies online in the review now. www.brokenfrontier.com/blackheath-f...
Blackheath Folk: Local History and Folklore - Delightful Anthology Zine Brings Together Tales of Highwaymen, Spooky Funfairs and Spring-Heeled Jack Via the Oxfam Blackheath Team – Broken Frontier
Debuting on Small Press Day the 'Blackheath Folk: History and Folklore' anthology is a collaboration between the Oxfam Blackheath team.

The #SmallPressDay team and the @brokenfrontier.bsky.social editorial team are now one and the same. So if you love the ethos of SPD then why not give BF a follow? Small press comics are their kinda thing.
The Discourse on Bluesky has turned to understandable concerns about the lack of comics commentary outlets. So just a reminder we're still here championing exciting new voices, showcasing genuinely indie work, and prioritising marginalised creators. www.brokenfrontier.com/about/

Sad to hear of the passing of Calvin Hayes of stylish late eighties tunesmiths Johnny Hates Jazz. A sound perfectly crafted for the time and it hit. Hayes dad was Mickie Most which also probably helped a bit. The debut JHJ endures as a sophisto-pop classic... www.youtube.com/watch?v=51NA...
