Nicholson's Small Press Tirade

Jeff Nicholson’s Small Press Tirade (1989–present, Onward Comics) is a singular, one-shot comic that serves as a raw, personal manifesto from its creator. Writers and artists alike, Nicholson uses the issue to vent frustrations and share unfiltered perspectives on the small-press scene, making it a potent time capsule of independent comics’ DIY ethos. Its enduring presence as an ongoing series—despite a single issue—underscores its cult significance as a defiant statement of creative autonomy.
