	Minicomic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These creators may see minicomics as a way to hone their skills or as a way to get their work seen by a larger audience, or may be drawn to the format for aesthetic reasons.
		Some observers have anticipated that the rise of webcomics would be the end of minicomics, but as of 2005 this does not appear to be the case.
		The first two waves of the collection came with minicomics which featured the character with which it came, one of the villains from the collection (who, obviously, was the antagonist of the story inside the comic) and other heroes featured in the collection.

	Sequential Tart: Hopelessly Lost (vol VI/iss 12/December 2003)
		Minicomics are seen as the last refuge of cartoonists who aren't good enough to do anything else, or, at best, a stage beginning creators go through on their way to their assumed goal of making "real comics".
		Unlike the digest, the quarter size minicomic can also be oriented in either direction, and "landscape" minis have a very different look and feel than those with a "portrait" orientation, another advantage for creators who like to experiment.
		But unless you're totally in love with idea of a behemoth minicomic, it might be better to begin a series instead, with each issue in the 8-32 page range.

	Big Things: Pam Bliss
		She's a one-woman minicomics machine obsessed with a fictional smalltown in Indiana - a place where time travel, dogs, and her own life all get thrown into the melting pot.
		But minicomics remain her first love, with stories ranging "from kid's club adventures to time travel to the weirdness of everyday life to autobiography".
		I plan to serialize it in minicomics form, mostly because I think it will take at least three years to complete, but it's a single, tightly structured story with a beginning, a middle and a very definite ending, and it will appear in book form eventually.

	[No title]
		If I reprint the minicomics in the future, that's the imprint I'll be using.
		The minicomics include Bloody Hell #1, Doctor Sputnik #1 and 2, Fred the Clown #1 (not to be confused with the recent 32-page comic), Fred's Dream, Frankenstein Meets Shirley Temple and The Fabulous World of Things.
		I've sold out of the minicomics temporarily, but they are all downloadable from my website (www.hotelfred.com) as PDF files.

	UberCyberCats > MiniComics > SGMS 2002
		This is a minicomic that I did to hand out at the School Girls and Mobile Suits weekend workshops at the Minnesota College of Arts and Design.
		This workshop and the Bigfire Anime fanart contest are the two events in my life that inspired me to get involved in drawing and fanart.
		This will give you 2 copies of a 4 page minicomic on one piece of paper (you may have to experiment to get it to print back-to-back correctly).

	Sequential Tart: Pam Bliss - Minicomics Maven! (vol IV/iss 10/October 2001)
		Pam Bliss has been a mainstay of the minicomics corner for years, and she's taken the knowledge she's learned (sometimes the hard way) and turned it into a series of informative and encouraging articles for Sequential Tart called Hopelessly Lost, but Making Good Time.
		While a lot of comics creators seem to be moved to tell epic length stories as chapter by chapter serials, I've always been more interested in exploring the range of the cartoon short story.
		Minicomics in various forms work very well for presenting single stories, but I'm also always looking at different ways to collect groups of my stories into larger, more permanent packages.

	The thread that teaches you how to make comics. For real. - TOKYOPOP Message Board (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Whether the minicomic functioned as a cartoonist's sole venue for publishing their work, or represented work done in-between other projects, the format has been popular for artists with something to say.
		The minicomic presents your comic on pages that you flip through as opposed to screens that you click through.
		My own little tip on minicomics: If you want to get them out to more than just friends and family, stop by your local comic shop and ask them if you can leave a stack someplace on the counter or near the door for people to pick up.

	Minicomics, He-ManTales.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		It is a world that predates the five-issue DC Comics comic book series, in which the Adam/He-Man dual identity was introduced, AND the Filmation cartoon that followed.
		While those early minicomics were published by DC Comics, after 1984, all other minicomics were produced solely by Mattel and were loyal, in content and tone, to the classic TV cartoon.
		It also features the first and last minicomic appearance of the enigmatic and godlike Zodac, whose sole existence is to maintain a balance of power in this Kirbine world of warring opposites!

	Vogelein -- Appearances
		Today, some of the most groundbreaking and interesting comics are minicomics: small, photocopied digests of a creator's work.
		Minicomics are also gaining in popularity as an easy way to showcase your stories and characters, and make it easier for you to "break in" to the comics field.
		We begin with how to lay out the book and write the story, then move to the artwork: how to pencil and ink the pages, letter the word balloons and add sound effects, and then design the final templates for photocopying the finished product.

	Rants, Minicomics and More with Neil Kleid, Part One
		Instead of capturing a moment of my day, each entry was an illustrated essay in which I, well, bitched about something that was bothering me. Tourists.
		These evolved into a weekly comic at Slush Factory entitled ONE OFF ("one off" is a graphic design term for a single sheet of printed matter).
		Minicomics, as has been said by those with more cred than me, is comics at its core.

	Welcome to AiT/Planet Lar
		Rob Osborne and James Sime are quoted in the Arizona Republic about minicomics; Rob about turning 1000 Steps to World Domination into a graphic novel and James about the legitimacy of minicomics and the Isotope Award for Excellence in Minicomics.
		But I know those two well, so the standout quote to me is this: "Artists who work their way from minicomics to publishing deals are as rare as sightings of Batman and Bruce Wayne in the same room.
		Throw in James Kochalka and Nick Bertuzzi and half of everyone Fantagraphics and Top Shelf publishes, and the fact that Cebulski is a manga guy, and you can see how that sort of quote makes me smile.
