WHO ARE YOU?
My name is Dylan Sparks and I am a cartoonist living in White River Junction, Vermont. I've self-published my own comics for years and have a strong enthusiasm for comics production. I have long admired the role small press plays in the comics community and am very excited to be building a new space of my own through this publishing project! :)
