Reviews: Unico Collections - Volume 1

[Birmingham Mail]

OVER A year ago some likeminded folk who were interested in producing material for small press comics and getting them seen by a wider readership banded together to form Unico Publishing.

The underlying principle behind Unico is to help new creators who have written and drawn strips get them printed, advertised and published, at no cost to themselves. Unico only take a small percentage of any sales profits made with the rest going into a fund to continue paying for print runs of the title.

The invitation to join is open to anyone across the UK who feel they are up to the challenge of drawing their own comic and have not yet been published in any other small press comics.

Among its titles, Unico Publishing currently has Collections out. This 110 pages annual contains some colour interior pages and should prove an interesting Christmas present.

"Apart from entertaining its readers the other point of this annual is to give all the people involved who are wanting to break out into the comic world a chance to show their talent through this annual and present them with that rare first step on to the small press network," the publishers commented.
