GCAC GRANT UPDATE
Those of you who follow me on the various Nix social media platforms probably know that I received a grant from the Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC). I used the grant funds for short print runs of the Undead Ballads, Sheriff and the Gunsel, and Living with Explosions collected editions. These books previously had limited wholesale distribution due to the increased costs of printing. Thanks to GCAC, I was able to get these books and other Nix publications into stores!
Current Businesses that have Nix Comics Titles Available:
Big Planet Comics
Clintonville Books
Independent Kentucky (iNK)
Mug and Brush Headquarters
Shake It Records
The Wexner Center for the Arts Gift Shop
I still have some of these books available for wholesale. If you run a store and are interested, please contact me at ken@nixcomics.com.
