Reads

Reads is a small-press anthology series from Avery Hill Publishing, launched in 2011 and ongoing, that collects short comics and illustrations from a rotating roster of British and international creators. Known for its understated, slice-of-life storytelling and clean black-and-white art, the series has become a quiet showcase for emerging talent in the UK small-press scene. It matters as a consistent platform for thoughtful, character-driven work outside the mainstream, offering a curated snapshot of contemporary indie comics.
