Gunnerkrigg Court

Gunnerkrigg Court is a webcomic by Tom Siddell that updates three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It has been critically acclaimed by writers like Neil Gaiman and has won multiple Web Cartoonists’ Choice Awards including Outstanding Environment Design and Outstanding Dramatic Comic.

“I wish that Antimony Carver and her adventures and mysteries and myths, not to mention her school, had been around when I was a boy, to shape and warp and twist my growing mind but I don’t think you could ever grow too old to delight in Gunnerkrigg Court.” 
Neil Gaiman

Fablewood Anthology

The Fablewood Anthology is a collection of short stories designed to re-introduce the magic of fantasy to comics. Fantasy as a genre is frequently presented and celebrated as tales of sword and sorcery, with epic heroes, diabolic villains, and terrifying monsters. Magic is not just spells and wizards, however - it can also refer to a feeling, an experience, or even a single panel on a page.

Ape Entertainment

The Fablewood Anthology presents an amazing collection of stories that are inspired by fantasy and strive to restore a sense of magic and wonder to the genre by capturing the hearts and imaginations of readers of all ages. The anthology offers a range of stories, from a tale featuring the Greek hero Achilles, to a child searching for his dead parents, to a shadow striving for the impossible dream of seeing the sun! The anthology format allows creators to tell a broad range of stories with a wealth of themes and moods, from Lovecraftian-inspired horror to the bumbling-protagonist humor, and from the dark stranger on a lonely road mystery to tug-at-the-heart romance. Quality stories combined with compelling art can create a magical experience for readers, and this is the goal at the heart of this collection.

The Fablewood Anthology boasts an impressive and diverse roster of contributors, including fiction authors, webcomic creators, and established comic industry professionals (such as INVINCIBLE's Ryan Ottley). Presented by the devoted team at Ape Entertiainment, the Fablewood Anthology has support and enthusiasm from top to bottom, with everyone sharing the same goal of offering a unique reading experience for both seasoned fans of fantasy and the casual comics reader.
