I was a small part of the Newave Comix movement in the '70's. I self-published Midnight Fiction and Funny Paper; and contributed to Cascade Comix Monthly, Jabberwocky Graphix, The Buyer's Guide, Comix World, Space and Time, and a several others. Recently, with renewed interest in small press and alternative comics, I've started a website featuring comix and reviews of mini comix, small press, alternative comics, and books. It's updated every Saturday. Check it out at: Midnight Fiction



Printed copies of the 2008 Midnight Fiction Desk Calendar are now available for sale in the shop. With over a dozen top cartoonists from the small press/alternative comics scene, it's a great value at $6. (Includes calendar-style jewel case, postage, and handling.) Plus, there are still a few copies of some issues of my self-published comics (from the original print runs) available. If you're interested in these or other back issues, I'm selling lots of titles in the Midnight Fiction Shop.


I also maintain a couple of directories that are updated several times a week. One is an index of Small Press Comic Reviews with direct links to reviews all over the web.

The other is an index of Small Press Comic Creators with direct links to their websites and/or blogs.

The Vojtkomics Index is the web's most comprehensive list of the published works of mini comics superstar and long-time cartoonist Bob Vojtko!


Send your mini comix and small press comics to Midnight Fiction for review. Be sure to include the cost, information on how to order, and permission to use the cover or a panel or two in the review. (No superheroes, please!)

Long-time comix creator and publisher Mike Roden passed away earlier this year. To help with the remaining medical bills several of Mike's comrades have established benefit sales. Proceeds from the sale of comix and original artwork go directly towards Mike's outstanding medical bills. Your support is greatly appreciated.
