Dismalifesto

DIY is the core ethos of Dismal Comics. This philosophy permits authenticity without the pressures of garnering acclaim or making a profit. Therefore, the publication can exist on its own merits without yielding to external expectations.


Print-only sacrifices convenience in favor of a more intimate & distraction-free media format. Similarly, email-based interaction promotes deliberate communication with our readership. The publication's goals are incompatible with algorithmic curation & corporate platforms. So, this website & The Dismal Newsletter stand as the ONLY official resources for Dismal-related info and updates.
