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

After being away for a while, and after a successful, but stressful Kickstarter campaign we are delighted to announce that we have sent off Take Only Photographs, Leave Only Footprints for publishing (complete with ISBN)! We have been estimated 5-6 working days before we get the physical copies returned to us. Then it is just a matter of completing the sketches for the people who ordered the premium bundle before we can finally get them out to people. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Still Available!

Kickstarter On Our First Project

We have just launched our very first Kickstarter to fund the publication of our very first graphic novel. It is written by Tom Smith and drawn by Katie Whittle and tells the story of a young couple who encounter horrors from the sea and learn what it is to pay the price for disrespecting nature. You can view the project, or even back it if you like here
