We are pleased to announce a horrific new collection of stories in the latest anthology, Hellbound 2, published by our own Roho at Riverbird Studios. Our ghostly crew of comics artists tackles the topic of horror, from the numinous to the cemeterial to the completely made up. This 104-page, handmade, hand-printed, hand-stamped, boxed, limited art edition (only 25 produced) will send you straight into the very bowels of purgatory itself. (View previews here.)
Are you fond of stories about dogs attacking vengeant grackles? How about undead calves? Here you will find tales of great suspense and possessed books. Hellbound 2 is a great gift for comics lovers and gore enthusiasts everywhere. Buy Now!
Join us tonight for our weekly BCR meeting at 7:30pm in the Nelson Mandela Room of the Democracy Center (map) in Harvard Square. Tonight, BCR Presents: Projector Night! It will be an early festival of lights as pixels dance across a movie screen in accordance with new work by Hyun Supul and other BCR members.
If you can’t make it tonight and will perish of holiday independent comics deprivation if you can’t get your hands on one of our minis soon, rejoice! The Boston Comics Roundtable will be at the CCAE Holly Fair this Saturday and Sunday, December 10 and 11, in Harvard Square! Come by and see us!

"Ice" by Shelli Paroline
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to a holiday season filled with peace, love, and comics!
Join us an hour early tonight for Writer’s Night at 6:30pm at the Democracy Center (map) in Harvard Square. If you’d like to review the scripts beforehand, you can download them here.
And at 7:30pm, we’ll have the usual meeting in the usual place: the Nelson Mandela Room, the big room at the Democracy Center.
Not sure what to get for your favorite third cousin once removed or the office Secret Santa this year? Nothing celebrates the winter holidays like independently published mini comics and original comic art. Give the perfect gift of handmade images drawn in narrative sequence! You can find them in cornucopiac abundance this weekend. This Saturday, December 3, BCR member E. J. Barnes will be at the Somerville Local Artists Market, and now through January 8, 2012, she has several pieces in the annual Small Works Show at Riverside Gallery. On Sunday, December 4, BCR will be in two places at once at Comicazi Con/Bad-Ass Bazaar and the Boston Bazaar Bizarre. Come by and see us!
As for recent comics news online, Comics Alliance published this nice post of BCR member Shelli Paroline’s work to highlight her and BCR member Braden Lamb’s selection as the artists for the upcoming Adventure Time comic to be published by Boom Studios’ Kaboom! imprint. Go, Shelli and Braden!!!
