Congratulations to everyone here at Tugboat Press and all the artists, writers and editors involved in creating Papercutter #7 which won this year's Ignatz Award from Outstanding Anthology.
Also be sure to check out the new 2008 edition of Best American Comics edited by Lynda Barry. It features stories by our friends Graham Annable and Sarah Oleksyk, as well as, a incredibly strong roster of comic book artists. It's the best one yet.

It feels like forever since our last issue of Papercutter but it has finally arrived and it is well worth the wait. Issue Eight features the stylized art and witty storytelling of Corinne Mucha, an artist we've wanted to work with for a long time. Elijah Brubaker returns with the first of three new Hurbert and Ray stories (last seen in Papecutter #3) to be appear in the next couple of issues of Papercutter. Jeremy Tinder presents what he described as his best story yet and we have to agree. His ten page comic twists and turns in wonderful and unexpected ways. And, as always, Nate Beaty provides some stunning artwork for the inside covers. Check it out!
Congratulations to MK Reed and Jonathan Hill who's story "Americus" from Papercutter #7 has been nominated for a 2008 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Short Story and issue seven was nominated for Outstanding Anthology. The awards with be given out on August 4 at the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MD. Good luck!

Waking from our winter hibernation, we welcome in spring with a new issue of our flagship title Papercutter. Issue seven features our longest story yet, a 24 page heartbreaker from writer MK Reed and artist Jonathan Hill. MK Reed has long been considered by her peers as one of the best undiscovered writers in comics and this bittersweet tale of middle school absurdity shows why. Along with a one page gem by Xeric winning cartoonist Aron Nels Steinke and an amazing back story by Andy Hartzell (his giant two page spread will blow you away), Papercutter #7 is one of the best issues yet. Check it out!
As we've mentioned before, the nice folks at Microcosm Publishing have reprinted several out-of-print Tugboat Press books. Look for the new printings of:
But that's not all! A second volume of Nicole Georges's Invincible Summer is coming soon. And don't miss Kate Lopresti's new issue of Constant Rider. Yah Spring!
