Soaring Penguin Press hasn't added a story.

Meanwhile… 12 is a 152-page comics anthology featuring work by Gary Spencer Millidge, Roger Langridge, Sarah Gordon, Ginny Skinner, Daniel da Silva Lopes, Evgenij Iosjpe, Caleb Ady, Joe Latham, Joni Hägg, Jacob Fleming, Efi Theodoropoulou.

 

This campaign is to part-fund production costs, and to pay each creator an additional sum on top of their page rate.

 

What is Meanwhile...

 

Meanwhile… is our anthology series, bringing together higher profile creators with less established ones who are looking to see their stories in print. Each issue is curated to  ensure the highest quality of comics storytelling.

 

Meanwhile… combines ongoing series with stand-alone stories, so that every issue provides a satisfying read, while simultaneously encouraging the reader to pick up the next issue.

 

Meanwhile… has grown from 52 pages to its current size: 152 pages, so there’s room for longer, self-contained stories without squeezing out smaller stories.

Caleb Ady
From the Mountains of Colorado, Caleb has always wanted to create artwork for comics. He strives to make richness out of macabre indie stories like The Man Who Faded Away, The Suffering God, Aruku Akumu, and The Man of Many Shadows.

Daniel da Silva Lopes
Born in Porto Portugal, Daniel is one of the founders of the indie comic book publisher Gorila Sentado. Early on Daniel knew that he wanted to create and make comics, but the real motivation to achieve that appeared years laters while walking and exploring the interior of Coimbra, Portugal. From that day on, he works and pushes himself to get better and better. Daniel is a big fan of monster movies, strange music and comics and he takes pride in the collection he has been reaching for some years now.
