- What is "New British Comics" ?
- Ah, excellent question! "New British Comics" is a comic anthology publishing, well, new british comics! Shocking, we know! "New British Comics", or NBC as we like to call it, is published in two editions: English and Polish. That's right - two languages, two editions, one set of contents. The second issue features 15 strips, by 19 different contributors, all packed into 84 astounding pages!
- Is it good?
- NBC #1 was very well received by the press (you can check the reviews here) and was awarded Fanzine of the Month in SFX. I can say with all my confidence that NBC #2 will be one of the best anthologies you will read in this year or maybe even in your entire life.
- Where can I get it?
- In NBC #2 is available from Braw Books and SmallZone.co.uk - both shops ship items internationally. The list of Polish stockists is here.

Most likely right now he’s creatively conjuring things with a sour expression and gritted teeth, insulted by the whole wide world.

Tony Hitchman
Tony Hitchman spent most of his childhood reading any comic he could get his hands on (except war comics). He became fascinated with super heroes, finding the idea of gaining fantastic powers with very little effort particularly appealing. To this end he memorised the Green Lantern oath and practiced it with a Pifco cycle lamp just in case any spacecraft containing dying aliens with power rings crashed into the back gardens of the flat at Portland Road. Sadly they didn’t, so he got a day job and now lives with his wife, two teenagers and an awful lot of comics - and in his spare time he writes war comics.
