Indie Publisher Silver Sprocket is Posting Their Entire Catalog Online for Free

I am a big fan of the indie publisher of comics, zines, and goodies, Silver Sprocket. I get their press emails and was excited to see that they will be posting their entire comic's catalog online for all to enjoy. They are doing this because they know people are bored with the quarantine protocol we all are following (you better be following it), and when they post stuff online it often boosts print sales too (they can still mail anything you'd like to you as well). This is really awesome, and I have the press release in full below with links to the first new free comic offering, "Big Punk," by Janelle Hessig, which readers may recall I loved. It is posted with other comics and will soon be joined by even more titles! Here is the press release...

Silver Sprocket Posting Comics Catalog Online for Free


We’re posting the Silver Sprocket comics catalog online for free easy reading.
This includes nearly everything Silver Sprocket has ever published, from Eisner and Ignatz Award nominated hits like Your Black Friend by Ben Passmore, Catboy by Benji Nate, and Pinky and Pepper Forever by Ivy Atoms, to new releases and out-of-print classics. 
This is primarily a community service for bored nerds under quarantine or social-distancing in need of quality indie comics to keep our minds sharp.
It’s hopefully smart business too, since the comics we post online usually end up selling the best in print.
If enough people still have money for comics, maybe we can get through this.
Read them. Take joy. Share. Make memes. There isn’t anyone who can stop you.
We’re starting today with Big Punk by Janelle Hessig, and will continue posting every day.
These will join the hundreds of comics already on our website.

Though our physical space is temporarily closed by government mandate, we will continue sending mail-order every day from our online store with free shipping for orders over $25, and just launched a Gumroad profile for PDF downloads.
Stay safe out there. Let’s make the best of this. We got this. 
Please get in contact if there is anything we can do to help.
Comics we will be posting online include:
