Wading through my emails, I ran across something from Javier Salazar with Ounce Comics (interesting name, wonder what it’s referring to…). He was asking for some coverage on one of their titles, a quirky, bizarre, & after looking at their other comics I realized totally on-brand book called Backwards-Man. From there I took a look at the rest of their lineup and in a fit of poor impulse control I picked up four of their books…
Let’s take a look and see what this indie publisher has to offer.
