Once upon a time the small press shelves would be full of comics anthologies providing a platform for exciting emerging creators. Now they’re a rarity. And they are *so* important. BOXES has been consistently excellent and the latest issue needs your support. Let’s do this!

BOXES is an excellent anthology and you should back it now!! ✨
