What is minicomics?

Minicomics are small, self-published comic books that are often created by independent artists, writers, and cartoonists. They are typically made by creating a simple design that is folded and stapled together. The format of a minicomic can vary, but they usually measure around 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches or smaller. They are often distributed for free or sold for a small amount at zine fairs, comic book conventions, and online. Minicomics offer a unique space for experimentation and risk-taking in the comic book world and are often used as a stepping stone for emerging creators seeking to establish a career in the industry.
