Talk:British small press comics

This seems to be a legitimate topic, but when I read it, I feel as if I've been thrown into the deep end of the pool. It could do with a little more meat towards the beginning. Enochlau 11:09, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

I know what you mean. I keep drafting stuff and getting nowhere. Pinning down the specifics with no POV is really tricky, but there's a lot to be said. Thanks for the initial start - I'm sure we can slowly evolve something!

There's a good book by Roger Sabin, Below Critical Radar, which gives an overview of the scene but I'm gone and mislaid my copy. If it doesn't turn up I'll have to get a new one but if anyone has it to hand I reckon it'd be invaluable to build a framework. Peteashton 00:44, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Framework set

Okay, I've set out a pretty major framework.

My main concern is that this is bordering on Original research. I don't think it is but since I have been heavily involved in the subject for the last 15 years I can't be certain. If there are areas that stink of it, please let me know and I'll try and back them up.

That aside I've concentrated on historical aspects so material on current events would be good. Also perhaps a section on significant small press comics, though this would have to be very selective. Possibly just anthologies of note?

It also no doubt needs a good proof reading...

Would it be worth drawing up a list on the page? I have been nodling away on things like FutureQuake, The End Is Nigh, Pony School, Commercial Suicide, etc. and also possibly something on the people as I did Edward Berridge and Arthur Wyatt. Such lists would also be handy for dropping in entries that need doing. Just a thought anyway. Good work so far - I wouldn't worry about it coming across as original research if you stick to the facts. (Emperor 18:40, 12 May 2006 (UTC))

My only concerns about listing titles, both old and new, is keeping it manageable and that old "notability" chestnut. There are hundreds of thousands of small press titles out there and all them are important to someone. That said, Anthologies are a good touchstone as they imply a reasonable number of people consider them worthy. Perhaps a seperate article is needed?

I should also add that this is no longer an area I'm active in so I won't be doing much work on this article, though I will be keeping tabs on the edits. If anyone else wants to move it forward, go for it! Peteashton 21:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite

My attention was drawn to this article by Eddie Campbell's rather indignant blog post a few days ago, and I found a rather incohent article largely consisting of lists and weblinks, and lots and lots of redundancy. I've rewritten it the article as prose on a basically chronological basis, but it still consists of way too many promotional links, and still needs plenty of work. --Nicknack009 (talk) 22:11, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
