Comics: Mini/Small Press Comics

Mini-comics are small, self-published comics which are often photocopied and stapled or with a handmade binding. And, as Jessica Abel explains, "The word 'minicomic' does not mean 'small comic'. The 'mini' in minicomics is a reference to a relatively small print run, and also how much personal labor on the part of the artist and friends is involved. A professionally-printed comic with a print-run of 3000 that is 4" X 5" is not a minicomic."
