Happy Birthday Frisson Comics!
Frisson Comics have been creating our unique brand of horror for 2 years now! To celebrate we’re offering 10% in our Etsy store until the end of the week as well doing spotlights on our creations!
To get 10% use the code: HAPPYBIRTHDAY
For our first spotlight we’re starting all the way from the beginning with our first book, Take Only Photographs, Leave Only Footprints.
The story was written by Tom after we had a harrowing few days after a trip to the beach, hearing dripping noises around our home. After searching for a leak we found live barnacles that we brought home from our trip not realising that they were still alive. In real life we saved the barnacles, the story however explores what would have happened if we hadn’t.
It’s quite a melancholy story overall with some very dark humour, exploring our responsibility to the world around us. It was a story greatly influenced by the work of Junji Ito and Cronenberg.
You can find issues on our Etsy at the moment, if you choose to grab a copy you’ll also get a free poster and 10% off with the code: HAPPYBIRTHDAY

Foxglove Woods Fully Funded on Kickstarter!
Frisson Comics is proud to present it’s latest Kickstarter campaign. A short solo experimental horror comic from Katie Whittle; The Foxglove Woods.
Experimenting with a flat, minimalist yet expressive style over the comics 15 pages, Katie tells the story of a young woman who awakens in a mysterious woodland and who confronts the natural and supernatural horrors that lie within.
Katie’s unique style was inspired by decorative arts such as medieval tapestries giving the resulting work an atmosphere and colour palette not often found in modern horror.
The comic also wears the authors love of horror manga on it’s sleeve with sound effects taking centre stage in the horror and resulting in a story that is entirely free from dialogue making it a universally accessible read.
Thematically, the story draws upon themes Katie’s love of nature that is accompanied by a respect that at times borders on fear of it – a theme that can be spotted in much of her work on titles such as Take Only Photographs Leave Only Footprints (2016).
The full comic is available to read online for free and can be seen here.
For the Kickstarter Campaign Katie is offering physical copies for £4, with an art print for £7, with 3 art prints for £10, with all the above plus an owl zine for £13 or again with all of the above plus a copy of Mike Apnea’s graphic novella The Residents (2017) which he has kindly given permission to be offered in the reward tier.
For those of you not in the know The Residents is a 70 page experimental ghost story set in a nursing home that touches upon the authors personal experiences with family suffering the effects of Alzheimer’s that makes for a touching read that also provides real scares.
The Kickstarter is now fully funded so all backers are guaranteed their pledges it is running until the 22nd of September and can be viewed here.
