FEATURING AN
INTERVIEW WITH
ADRIAN TOMINE AND
COMIC ART FROM
THE BEST INDIE
TALENT AROUND
FREE
Welcome to Issue Two of OFF LIFE magazine, the UKs only street
press comic anthology.
Were trying to show people that comics can be more than
superheroes and Sci-Fi, and so if weve tempted some of you back
for a second read then hopefully were on the right track!
And what an issue we have. We are honoured to feature an
interview with Adrian Tomine, one of the most inuential and
inventive comic artists working today. If any artist has shown
that comics can be every bit as intelligent and emotionally engaging
as the established arts, its Tomine and we hope our interview
showcases that.
The artist line up weve put together is a real whos-who of
the indie scene too. Some are published, some are just starting
out but all of them have a story to tell. As we said last issue, our
aim is to create a stepping stone to all the works of genius that
exist out there in four-colour print, so if this little magazine whets
your appetite go forth and discover your local comic stockists.
Its not all laser eye beams and unfathomably large-breasted
womenfolk, we promise.
On a nal note, weve started running quick draw competitions
each Thursday evening on our Twitter account. We set a theme
and you get two hours to draw and post your art. We dont have
any prizes for the winners, but then we dont store your data and
sell it to insurance companies unlike some arseholes. So thats
something. If quick draw nights sound like something youd be
interested in, come say hello on Twitter @OFFLIFE_comic.
Now get reading people, were rambled out!
