⚡ You've got the Power ⚡
We're excited to finally unveil Issue 3 of our literary magazine to you all! We've spent the last months reading through over 500(!) pieces of writing and comics and putting them into this particularly yellow and powerful edition of our magazine.
You can subscribe to the literary magazine via Patreon, You can pre-order Issue 3 in print here. You can also order a bundle including Power AND Issue 2: F Word for a wee discount. Hooray.
Paaaarty!
We're also having a launch party and Christmas party with our pals Interrobang?! so it seems a fine time to invite you to join us.
- Friday 8th December - We launch Issue 3 and wage a War on Christmas at Summerhall in Edinburgh [Tickets | Facebook event]
- Thursday 14th December - We've got a big Christmas party on the go at 13th Note in Glasgow! [Tickets | Facebook event]
Tickets for both are £6 (fees included), and upon entry you'll get a token for £5 off any and all 404 Ink's books, magazines and pamphlets - we have a few exciting things to announce on that front later this week.
As for the magazine? Here it is:
Superhumans and superpowers.
Girls just wanting to have thunder.
Being bulletproof. Not liking Tories.
A list of possible projects conceived while
working at a shitty office job.
