This month’s sponsor: Rolling Squid Bones
From the dark depths of the Mariana Trench, RSB stirs from its slumber, tearing a breach in reality and releasing creatures and comics never meant for human eyes. As meaning unravels, so do you — the deeper you go, the less of you comes back. In other words? Rolling Squid Bones is an indie comic publisher that likes to be overly dramatic. They strive to bring new, strange, and diverse comics into the hands of readers and into your local bookstores. But first and foremost, they focus on supporting creators in their venture into the medium of comics! Transparency and communication for RSB are two of the key values they strongly believe in.
