What We Do
ClearInkComics aims to be the go-to website on everything comic, everything graphic novel and everything fanzine. We have four main aims:
1) To allow our readers who are interested in comics to find out about all the exciting artists and writers out there and excellent events that sometimes slip under the radar
2) To promote comics to a wider audience as an engaging form of storytelling – and encourage other artists and writers to do the same.
3) Always be interesting
4) Always be fresh

What we don’t want
DC / Marvel etc news - there’s a million websites covering these comics already out there. Also we don’t want to bite the teat that suckled many of us into comics (!) but we’ve come to realise there’s a million better comics going on at the moment and they’re the ones that need a larger shout.
Straight Up Sales Content - We realise that you may have a comic to sell but we’re not going to print any content that just straight up says ‘Buy my comic, I say it’s awesome’ If you manage to say why your comic is awesome or interesting – then – maybe we’ll post something (basically refer to our manifesto points 3 & 4)
