About OtherSun Press
OtherSun Press is a brand new independent comics publisher based in the UK. It was founded by an entity known only as 'Os', moved by the human medium of 'comics and graphic novels'. OtherSun specialises in "vivid stories from other suns for those who like to ponder". That means the weird, the sci-fi, the speculative fiction.
"Comics are such fascinating things! It is certainly my favourite of all human mediums. The unique communication between creator and reader, the guided imaginative energy it produces, surpasses prose or film. The potential is boundless! There's so much I could do with these…" - Os, CEO and Founder of OtherSun Press
Most of the work in running the press (editing, production, admin, marketing) falls on Os's assistant Emily, of course. Thankfully, she is a true believer in Os's cause.
