Six months ago, we announced a major investment in comics creators on Substack with the addition of some of the world’s best comics artists and integration with Panels, the leading iOS comic reader. Today, we’re pleased to welcome a new cohort of acclaimed comics creators to Substack, as well as a heap of brand-new art and announcements from the early class of creators who’ve pioneered comics publishing on Substack.

New to Substack  

Six new comics creators are debuting on the platform today, bringing with them everything from superheroes to romance to manga.
