First as part of our now retired ‘Small Pressganged’ feature, and now as an annual standalone feature, we have been running our ‘Ten UK Small Press Comics You Need to Own!’ round-up at Broken Frontier since 2012. Keeping up that tradition, here’s this year’s look back at some of the standout British self-published comics we covered over the last twelve months.

A quick reminder (and something we say every year) that this is not a “Best of” list, per se. Rather it’s an opportunity for us all to immerse ourselves in the creativity, imagination and invention of those working in the small press world, and to give an extra push to their practice, while celebrating the diversity of the self-published work on offer in the process. The focus this year is on solo creators or partnerships rather than anthologies, comics published by micropublishers or ongoing anthology-style series.
